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.

Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon, Willow House

Duration: from Aug 12, 2025 to Mar 31, 2029
Description:

Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon, Willow House is at a critical juncture as the demand for our essential services has exceeded our capacity, resulting in over 500 families being turned away annually. Recent provincial projections indicate a growing need for additional spaces in the coming years. A second RMHBC&Y, Willow House, will double the number of families we serve, allowing us to better accommodate long-stay families, who often stay for months and even years at a time. The new House is intentionally designed with studio, one- and two-bedroom units, kitchenettes, storage and other amenities.
This green and inclusive community project will create a new, fully accessible, 130,000 sq. ft. building for the public, adding 75 family suites plus, common indoor and outdoor areas. This net-zero project will enable us to meet the current and future demand for families by providing essential social infrastructure enabling equitable access to pediatric health care, and reducing the burdens faced by travelling families.
