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.

Equitable Access for Skuppah Band
Inclusively, with all members of the community, key challenges and priorities will be identified to improve equitable accessibility. A combination of in person information supported by technological data collection to create a visualization of solutions will be used. The plan will focus on not only the members but on the Lytton fire impacted community by planning for solutions to improve access between medical facility, food centre, evacuee housing, and employment. Also, currently because of the historic road style, the kids don’t have a safe route to school bus stops. Because it is a small community with limited funds, the plan will have phases to implement each of the proposed active transportation plan facilities in a practical manner, prioritizing the highest impact areas first.
