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.

Canada Avenue Active Transportation Facilities - City of Duncan / Municipality of North Cowichan

Duration: from Nov 6, 2025 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.

Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.

The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.

Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).
