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.

Ground- and satellite-based remote sensing and aerosol simulation support for the airborne PONEX measurements
25HAWCAERO
The goal of the project are to investigate ground- and satellite-based aerosol remotely sensed (RS) data along with aerosol simulations to analyze and contextualize the aerosol data acquired by onboard sensors during the PONEX (POlar Night EXperiment) airborne mission that will fly out of Inuvik, NT in January of 2026 (aerosols being airborne particles of dust, pollution, sea-salt etc. ). Regional contextualization provides critical redundancy as well as complementary information to any given aerosol or aerosol-cloud event detected by the suite of PONEX sensors. The output product will, in general, be a significantly more insightful understanding of PONEX aerosol measurements.

Upsizing Petrolia Line / Oil Heritage Road Watermain in Petrolia, Ontario
The Petrolia Watermain Upgrade project in Petrolia, Ontario addresses critical housing and infrastructure needs. This capital project involves replacing the existing 200mm watermain with a 300mm watermain on Petrolia Line from east of Bear Creek to Oil Heritage Road, then south down Oil Heritage Road. The new watermain will extend to the future development entrance on Oil Heritage Road, enabling the construction of five residential developments. The project includes removing and replacing approximately 2,025 metres of watermain, supporting the development of 1,032 new housing units. This will increase Petrolia's housing supply by 40%, including a mix of single and multi-residential units. The upgrade will reduce watermain breaks, benefitting 542 existing properties and future developments. Additionally, it will increase fire flow by 346%, improving emergency response times. The outcome will be enhanced housing availability, increased affordability, supporting the town's growth, and attracting new commercial and industrial developments.

Avonlough Sanitary Pumping Station and Conveyance
The Avonlough Sanitary Pumping Station and Conveyance project in Belleville, Ontario addresses critical infrastructure needs to support residential development. This capital project involves constructing a new sanitary pumping station with an initial capacity of 100 litres per second (L/s), for 1,800 housing units, expandable to 490L/s to ultimately service approximately 9,000 units. The project includes installing twin force mains, new gravity and pressure sewers along Bridge Street West, and decommissioning the existing small pumping station. The new station will feature two wet wells, submersible pumps, and backup power. The new station will replace aging infrastructure, improve capacity, and ensure reliable sanitary service. The outcome will unlock development lands in the Loyalist West Secondary Plan area, supporting growth for approximately 30 years and enhancing public health and worker safety.
