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.

West End Treatment Plant Upgrades - Phase 2
The West End Treatment Plant Upgrades - Phase 2 for the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario project ensures that the West End Wastewater Treatment Plant will continue to meet the needs of Sault Ste. Marie's growing population and forecasted housing needs into the next decade. A reliable wastewater treatment plant is a critical piece of infrastructure required to support more homes. Wastewater in the City of Sault Ste. Marie is treated at two wastewater treatment plants: the East End Wastewater Treatment Plant (EEWWTP) and West End Wastewater Treatment Plant (WEWWTP). Both facilities discharge treated effluent to the Great Lakes, a sensitive and critical resource. The City is undertaking important upgrades to the WEWWTP to support planned growth in the west catchment area, reduce maintenance demands, and improve operational efficiencies. The upgrades include improvements to the aeration system, primary and secondary clarifier mechanisms, and conversion of the chlorine disinfection/dichlorination systems to UV disinfection. These improvements will enable 2,284 housing units and ensure high-quality treated effluent, complying with Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) criteria, while reducing chemical loading on the receiving waterbody and improving aquatic health.
