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.

Construction of a Multifunctional Corridor in Central Pont-Rouge, Quebec
Following these observations, the committee engaged a specialized firm to carry out a pre-feasibility study for a multifunctional corridor along a well-defined route. The route was chosen by the committee with the aim of serving most of the town’s districts and most age groups. Two residences for seniors and people with disabilities (about 200 people) will be served, along with the area around École du Perce-Neige. The school is one of the largest in Quebec, with over 900 students. The Town plans to upgrade its existing 2.5 km of multi-use trails and construct an additional 5.3 km. The results of the pre-feasibility study and the road safety committee’s analysis show that the development of a multifunctional corridor would contribute to user safety and be economically viable for the Town. The corridor would follow the route laid out by the committee and would be a combination of a designated roadway, a school corridor, sidewalks and a bike path. There will be vertical and horizontal signs all along the route to ensure user safety.

Regional Trail Network - Connecting coastal communities
The objective is to identify/research a walkway corridor along the stretch of coastline from Rose Blanche to Cape Anguille.
The outcome of this project will connect communities through exiting footpaths, through trail way infrastructure already in place and to look at new trail development. Linking the communities will create a safer, inclusive pedestrian and cycling route. Once complete, residents will benefit from a multi-purpose path that will better connect different neighbourhoods and connect the region as a whole. This project is regional in scope and will involve a MOU amongst the various communities.
