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.

Lively-Walden Wastewater System Upgrades Project
The Lively-Walden Wastewater System Upgrade project in Greater Sudbury, Ontario aims to address capacity challenges and improve service levels for wastewater infrastructure. This capital project involves detailed design and construction of upgrades to the Anderson List Station, Jacob Street Lift Station, and the linear collection system downstream of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant. Additionally, it includes Phase 1 upgrades to the Walden Wastewater Treatment Plant and the decommissioning of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant. The upgrades will increase the wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate growth within the Lively-Walden community to 2051 and the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation to 2062. The project will enhance environmental protection, reduce inflow and infiltration, and improve infrastructure reliability. The outcome will be a robust wastewater system supporting long-term growth, environmental sustainability, and compliance with provincial policies.
