Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge Access Road Improvements and Maintenance
500-81859
This project is a continuation of improvements and maintenance to the 26 kilometers of the rural municipality road in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan that provides access to Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge (OOHL). The original agreement from 2014, “Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge Access Road Improvement”, identified this requirement as Phase 3 as per below: Phase-3 will be the maintenance phase that will cover the annual maintenance of the access road for a period of 7 years from 2015 to 2022.
The Crown recently signed an MOU to continue the operation of Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge until 2046. To re-establish and properly maintain the service level of the access road (rural primary grid road) over the course of this MOU, additional funds are required for road improvements and maintenance. The Prairie Region Technical Services and Facilities Management division is advancing a separate project under their Program of Work in which the contracted consultant will provide the deliverables for bringing the road back to service level, as well as provide a long term maintenance strategy until 2046.
The RM of Maple Creek will continue to provide services including but not limited to:
- Annual maintenance of the complete 26 kilometer length of road, including snowplowing of roads in winter, thawing of culverts, grading, shaping, gravelling, and emergency work related to rutting, washboards, potholes, slides and run offs
- Application of road hardener (magnesium chloride) as dust abatement measures
- Additional preventative and/or reactive road maintenance required in response to weather and road conditions
- Deliverables identified by the consultant to bring the road back to service level, as well as implementation of the long-term maintenance strategy.

Carpe Diem Multiservices Center, roof renovation
300-03303
This roof renovation project entails removing the shingles, inspecting the wooden joists and, if necessary, installing new joists, sloping the roof and covering an area of 3,373 ft2 with an protective membrane. In recent months, the Community Residential Center (CRC) at Résidence Carpe Diem has experienced some water damage related to the roof. This occurred in the office of a staff member, in a common area on the 1st floor and in a bedroom as well. Last summer, an intervention by an exterminator (ants) revealed that the wood of the roof was in poor condition. Following these incidents, temporary repairs were carried out while a full assessment of the roof could be completed. This assessment, carried out in May, confirmed that the roof had to be completely redone.
