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.

Canada Avenue Active Transportation Facilities - City of Duncan / Municipality of North Cowichan

Duration: from Nov 6, 2025 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.

Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.

The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.

Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).

Westsyde Road Multi-Use Pathway: Phase 2

Duration: from Nov 6, 2025 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The project will construct a 470m multi-use pathway (MUP) which is the second phase of the non-motorized pathway that will provide residents and visitors an accessible, separated, multi-use facility to walk, cycle, and roll safely between community destinations on Whispering Pines I.R. #4. This second phase will complete the off-road MUP on the east side of Westsyde Rd., which will be the first of its kind on I.R. #4. This MUP will help address safety concerns related to walking and cycling along Westsyde Rd. and encourage more active transportation use as the current roadway has no pedestrian or bicycle facilities or lighting.

Humanitarian data and security support - INSO 2025

Agreement Number:

7470952 P015728001

Duration: from Nov 6, 2025 to Dec 31, 2027
Description:

September 2025 – The changing nature of conflicts worldwide resulted in unprecedented humanitarian needs. This poses unique safety and security challenges for humanitarian organizations delivering assistance to vulnerable populations, despite international humanitarian law’s protections. Conflicts worldwide result in countless and often deliberate attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel. More than ever before, frontline humanitarian workers and non-governmental organizations require free and up-to-date information, analysis and advice. This supports informed decision-making, enables humanitarian access, and helps them serve populations most in need.

With Global Affairs Canada’s support, International non-governmental organization Safety Organisation (INSO) helps humanitarian organizations fulfill their mandates safely by providing timely information and assistance to reduce security risks. Project activities include: (1) providing 24/7 safety alerts and analysis to non-governmental organization (NGOs) operating in high-risk areas; (2) offering security briefings to NGO staff to ensure preparedness in crisis contexts; and (3) facilitating interagency coordination to improve collaboration and response in conflict zones. The project primarily benefits international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their staff, particularly those working in conflict zones, who rely on accurate safety information to carry out their operations and deliver aid effectively.

First Response Fund - Global 2025

Agreement Number:

7471510 P015011001

Duration: from Nov 6, 2025 to Sep 30, 2027
Description:

The First Response Fund (FRF) is a global humanitarian pooled fund that resources grassroots, local, life-saving humanitarian responses led by women-led and women’s rights organizations (WLO/WROs). The FRF leverages the global network of over 50 national, regional and multiregional Women’s and Feminist Funds (W/FF) to support WROs/WLOs to provide fast and effective humanitarian services in ODA-eligible countries, including to communities that may not be reached otherwise. The FRF supports WROs/WLOs to provide humanitarian response services in their communities, with a focus on humanitarian aid to high-need groups who often face barriers to access, including refugees and internally displaced people, women with disabilities, gender expansive and transgender people, Indigenous and Black women, rural women, and those at the intersection of many of these identities.

This project represents Canada’s support to the First Response Fund. Specific funding amounts, and targeted countries, will be identified based on humanitarian need, coordinated humanitarian response plans, and FRF members’ delivery capacity, as per the FRF’s Operational Manual. The use of Canada’s financial contributions will be limited to prioritized geographical areas in UN Humanitarian Appeals and/or UNCHR Refugee Response Plans.
