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.

Crowbush Cove Shore Protection Demonstration Project
The project seeks to mitigate coastal erosion and flooding along the north shore of Crowbush Cove, PEI through rehabilitating the existing rock revetment, as well as implementing enhancements to the dune. The exposed rock revetment rehabilitation measures will include extending and raising the existing exposed rock revetment to protect against further erosion. The enhancements to the dune will include implementing beach nourishment, sand fencing and marram grass plugs along the existing buried revetment. The outcomes of the project will protect the shoreline and the surrounding community (including the sandy beach at Lakeside to the east of the project area), as well as enhance the longevity of the project’s existing assets such as the rock revetment.
