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.

Waterfront Trail Redevelopment for Whitby, Ontario
As described by the applicant, this project seeks to redevelop and widen 556 metres of asphalt recreation trail to a 3 or 4 meter width, replace over 240 metres of boardwalks, 95 meters of a span pedestrian bridge, foot bridges and rest areas, construct intuitive wayfinding and interpretive signage in Whitby, Ontario. The Town will be able to replace these assets with safe accessible structures and enhance the waterfront by improving the multi-use trail to accommodate different users and abilities, safety and increase the trail capacity. This will be achieved by widening the pathway and taking measures to reduce and/or protect from hazards such as poor sightlines, steep slopes, eroded embankments and trail deterioration caused by climate, expired life-cycles and other environmental impacts.

Strengthening social cohesion and conflict prevention during elections in Senegal
7452946 P012989001
This project aims to support democracy and socio-political stability in Senegal through capacity building and the promotion of peace, cohesion and political and social dialogue to prevent the difficulties inherent in the electoral process.
Project activities include: 1) supporting capacity building for women, youth groups and grassroots community organizations on conflict prevention, dialogue and mediation; 2) organizing a national consultation and media training workshops on peacebuilding, conflict prevention and combating information pollution; 3) set up a digital early-warning platform by creating a network of “whistle-blowers” in different regions of the country who observe election-related tensions and violence; 4) organize dialogues between women and political, religious, traditional and customary actors; 5) produce and disseminate a study on the impact of electoral violence on women in Senegal; and 6) support capacity building for the High Council for Social Dialogue.
This project will strengthen the capacities and means of action of more than 2,380 people, 60% of whom are women. Several activities to promote peace, cohesion and political and social dialogue before, during and after the elections are scheduled to take place throughout the country. The indirect beneficiaries are the entire Senegalese population, estimated at over 18 million people, 50.2% of whom are women and girls.)
