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.

Langley Performance Centre
Located at 7888 - 200 Street, Langley, British Columbia, the Concert & Performance Hall at Langley Events Centre, will be built on the traditional territories of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Matsqui, and Semiahmoo First Nations. The carbon-neutral facility and multi-purpose venue will meet the rapidly growing Fraser Valley population's need for a modern entertainment and gathering place, supporting the Township’s Vision and Sustainability Charter. The Centre will be a regional cultural hub within Langley’s Arts, Sports, and Entertainment District (ASED). It will feature a net-zero building design that exemplifies energy efficiency and climate resiliency while creating significant employment opportunities. The Centre will host a wide range of events, including Indigenous gatherings, arts and cultural events, business conferences, graduations, music, comedy, and theatre performances. This multi-generational project aligns with the Township's commitment to provide community gathering spaces for Indigenous traditions and build an inclusive and sustainable legacy for future generations. The adaptable design will improve accessibility and provide socio-economic benefits for the region, fulfilling a long-standing community need and enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Equitable Access for Skuppah Band
Skuppah Indian Band will look at the community as a whole and make a plan that is inclusive, sustainable and future looking. Inclusively, with all members of the community, key challenges and priorities will be identified to improve equitable accessibility. A combination of in person information supported by technological data collection to create a visualization of solutions will be used. The plan will focus on not only the members but on the Lytton fire impacted community by planning for solutions to improve access between medical facility, food centre, evacuee housing, and employment. Also, currently because of the historic road style, the kids don’t have a safe route to school bus stops. Because it is a small community with limited funds, the plan will have phases to implement each of the proposed active transportation plan facilities in a practical manner, prioritizing the highest impact areas first. The demographic includes young families who lost homes in Lytton, as well as Elders who are aging in place. This plan will provide solutions to accommodate nonvehicle travel in the community.
The plan will address improvements to access of employment and education opportunities and the health care facility. Also, considering Skuppah is a remote community, the plan will look to reduce trucking in of materials, use recycled mixes such as Recycled Aggregate Product, and source local materials. Alfred, the Band’s plant and vegetation expert, will be incorporated to maintain the native species.
