ILRC Office Closed - November 12, 2020 – January 15, 2021

ILRC Training – As of Nov 12, 2020 ILRC will be closed due to Manitoba Government Red Restrictions being implemented and will not reopen until Jan 15, 2021.  During this time, the VFH office will NOT be accepting new driver applications without ILRC training completed.  New drivers must apply after ILRC has reopened and a training certificate has been obtained.  Existing drivers, holding valid licences, where their ILRC training would expire in this timeframe would be granted an extension, however training must be obtained once ILRC has reopened to avoid enforcement actions. Please visit ILRC for more information https://www.ilrc.mb.ca/

July 17, 2020 – ILRC Taxi Training Deadlines

As of August 1st, 2020, a valid ILRC (DART: Accessibility Transportation Training) certificate will be required for any driver seeking to obtain a new or to renew their City of Winnipeg taxicab licence. Since the onset of COVID-19, and the (temporary) suspension of regularly scheduled ILRC training, the Winnipeg Parking Authority has conditionally renewed taxicab drivers’ licences where their ILRC training certificate had expired.

These drivers will have a deadline of December 31st, 2020 to complete their (ILRC) certification in order to satisfy the requirements of a City of Winnipeg taxicab drivers licence. For complete information on the requirements of obtaining or renewing a taxicab driver’s licence please contact the Winnipeg Parking Authority.

As a precautionary measure, due to COVID-19, all ILRC certifications, both new and renewal will now consist of two parts:

  • Step 1 - Online training
  • Step 2 - In-person assessment

After completing both required parts, drivers will receive their ILRC certificate (valid for 2 years). To begin your ILRC certification visit www.ilrc.mb.ca/training to complete the registration form.

If you have any questions regarding this process please contact the Independent Living Resource Centre at 204-947-0194 or
