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.

Solar PV Array – Rideau Heights Community Centre
Rideau Heights Community Centre (RHCC) was conceived as a fully-accessible and environmentally responsible facility that provides a much-needed community hub in the highest needs neighbourhood in Kingston, Ontario. This crucial community asset provides City services and community partner programming for the most vulnerable population in our city. The existing building, completed in 2018, was built to meet Canada's Green Building Council's LEED Silver-designed certification, and employs a high-performance envelope, LED lighting, a building automation system and solar thermal for direct hot water heating. In order to achieve greater decarbonization and significant energy savings, our GICB project will retrofit the facility with a net-metered photovoltaic array on the roof and in the adjacent parking lot.
Through this project, the Rideau Heights Community Centre will become a greater physical demonstration of Kingston's commitment to a sustainable future.
