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.

Banook Canoe Club Revitalization
BCC's revitalization project involves renovations to improve energy efficiency, lower GHG emissions, climate resiliency, safety, inclusiveness and accessibility. The facility is located in an area with residential communities and business districts and is accessible by many methods of transportation including buses (Halifax Transit), the ferry service, bicycle and walking paths. With a rapidly growing population, demographics include first generation immigrants, seniors, families, and underserved communities. Facility upgrades will enhance community recreation capacity in Dartmouth and create a safe, accessible and modern facility that promotes inclusion and accessibility, and supports, promotes, and encourages active healthy living through recreation and social activities.

Mómeqwem Multi-Use Pathway and McLennan Creek Active Transportation Crossing, Province of British Columbia
A series of projects in Mómeqwem were identified in the nation’s Active Transportation Plan (2021). The projects include the construction of multi-use pathways, sidewalks, a walking path, and a new active transportation bridge crossing at McLennan Creek. The projects will provide members with accessible and continuous walking and cycling
facilities that are safe, comfortable, and connect to destinations within the community.
Key outputs of the projects include:
•840 m of 3.0 m width new paved (asphalt) multi-use pathway
•250 m of 2.0 m width paved (asphalt or hardpacked gravel) pathway
•210 m of 2.0 m width new paved sidewalk
•A new, approximately 25 m long, 3 m wide single span bridge crossing for active transportation users (no vehicles)
•Associated landscaping and benches
•Associated streetlighting and signage
Increasing walking and cycling opportunities in our community is a long-term commitment for Matsqui First Nation to achieve safety, health, and wellness goals as they relate to transportation.

Long Pond Breakwater Erosion Mitigation
This project entails upgrades to the Long Pond Breakwater that separates Conception Bay from Long Pond - the home of the Inner Harbour, Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club, Long Pond Harbour Authority, Community Park, and downtown business district, as well as private properties. Breakwater upgrades included in this project have been designed to withstand a 100-year storm with sea level rise considerations by the year 2100. The breakwater has been divided into segments, to ensure each segment is best constructed to withstand the unique wave action and offshore conditions observed in the Coastal Engineering Assessment which took place during 2022. Considerations were also made to ensure the asset can tolerate, and projected conditions for the next 75 years.
