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.

St-Laurent biodiversity corridor for water retention
The project consists of three assets: enlarging and upgrading the Noroît permanent reservoir by using phytotechnology to increase its capacity; digging a retention basin in a park, to allow infiltration and retention of stormwater through phytotechnology rather than direct runoff to the pipe system; and implementing a 450 hectares biodiversity corridor in the borough to create ecological connectivity between natural environments, parks and green spaces. This will improve the retention of runoff water, thereby reducing the risk of flooding in this sector but also reducing heat islands.

Montreal East - Heat wave mitigation tree planting initiative
The project will create a new natural environment on a 145-hectare site through the massive planting of 230,000 trees and 57,000 shrubs that will consolidate the last remaining green spaces in the East and strengthen the existing natural infrastructure. This consolidation will create a cool zone and counteract extreme heat events that affect the health, resilience and quality of life of the community. The consolidation of green areas to create a park will result in a new natural infrastructure designed and built to mitigate the current and future impacts of climate change, while meeting the need of the population of the east of Montreal to access to large protected natural area.
