Typically it is only for Firefighter and Ground Search and Rescue training courses. A copy ot the email sent to you from the MTO will suffice as back.
GST
The MTO and municipalities are different types of entities with the Canada Revenue Agency. The MTO only receives 50% of the GST back from CRA while municipalities receive 100% of the GST paid. Therefore, the MTO would prefer that you do not include the GST that was paid by your municipality on invoices to the MTO. It is best that municipalities claim this GST for themselves from CRA.
