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.

Ottawa Community Housing Retro-Densification Project
1041374
Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) will take an existing 1960s two storey duplex and perform a panelized exterior energy retrofit while also adding 3-4 additional units behind and over top the existing homes. The same low embodied carbon off-site manufactured panels used in the retrofit will compose the envelope of the additional units, which will have a new centralized mechanical system to provide heating and cooling for all units. The new roof will house solar panels producing onsite renewable energy. Ultimately, the existing building will reduce its energy consumption by over 60% and additional high-performance units will be added to the property, addressing both the housing crisis and climate crisis in one project. This model is intended to be highly replicable with an intent to implement in additional units within the OCH portfolio as well as across the private residential sector .
