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.

Lytton Community Hub
After a fire destroyed 90% of the Village of Lytton in 2021, including homes and community services that were relied on by residents of the Village and surrounding areas, the community lost its ability to gather, connect, and share together. Now further to its rebuilding efforts, the Village of Lytton will plan, design and construct a community centre, the Lytton Community Hub, across three properties (420, 400, and 320 Fraser Street, Lytton, BC) to re-establish a gathering and common space for all. By combining Nlaka'pamux traditional building knowledge with modern technologies, the Hub will be certified Net Zero, and house Canada’s first Net Zero Public Pool/ Emergency Reservoir, following FireSmart standards.

Cowichan Watershed Resiliency Project
The proposed project has two main components to improve long-term water supply and watershed resilience: Replacement of a weir upriver and various flood controls and attenuation projects in mid river. Together, these components will provide both water storage opportunities during the summer and flood relief during the winter, to mitigate the risk of further impacts from climate change and increase the resiliency of critical public infrastructure, as well as homes and livelihoods, particularly in already affected zones.
