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.

Upsizing Petrolia Line / Oil Heritage Road Watermain in Petrolia, Ontario

Duration: from Oct 27, 2025 to Mar 31, 2029
Description:

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

Duration: from Oct 27, 2025 to Mar 31, 2031
Description:

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.

Data unification and business insights

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Oct 27, 2025 to Apr 30, 2026
Description:

The GIST is a women-operated sports media brand, with a community of over 1 million fans who have been underserved by traditional sports media.

Our community spans many channels, including multiple newsletters, job board, contests, games, podcast, social media, e-commerce, membership, and live events. Currently, user data is siloed within the different channels, and our pipeline for storing and analyzing data is almost entirely centered around our newsletters.

The goal of this project is to create a unified profile for our users and data team, and rework the data pipeline to aggregate and report on user activity. This will give us a more detailed and holistic view of who our users are via their behaviors and preferences.
