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.

Active Transportation Plan for District of Lunenburg
MODL is currently operating off an out-of-date Active Transportation Plan drafted in 2010. Since that time, many AT projects have been accomplished and MODL has significantly changed its development patters. The new Active Transportation Plan for MODL will provide: an inventory of existing active transportation infrastructure; mapping of proposed active transportation infrastructure improvements; a 20 year phased approach for implementation, identifying priorities and including cost estimates; an active transportation policy statement; proposed changes to the subdivision bylaw; and suggestions for funding.

Kinsmen Arena Deep Energy Retrofit
The Kinsmen Recreation Centre is a centrally located facility, featuring two ice surfaces, ground-floor and elevated viewing areas as well as a host of multi-purpose meeting and activity rooms and kitchenette on the second floor. The facility also provides programming in a large computer lab.To substantially curtail carbon emissions, waste heat from the refrigeration plant will be utilized for space heating following the expansion and renewal of the existing hydronic distribution and building automation systems.

Credit Valley Trail - Upper Canada College Phase 1
Credit Valley Trail - Upper Canada College Phase 1 is a part of the Credit Valley Trail in Halton Hills (Georgetown). The Credit Valley Trail will be a 100 km pathway through the Credit River Valley – from the headwaters in Orangeville to Lake Ontario in Mississauga – connecting people to nature, cultural experiences, Indigenous heritage and the sustaining waters of the Credit River. It will be developed in segments in different ways including by partner municipalities, the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, and potentially in partnership with private land owners.

System implementation of the silicon optical phased arrays
1000735
The aim of the Project is to investigate on the array designs of dense 2-dimensional nano-antennas and to provide an optimized system implementation of the integrated optical phased arrays (OPA). The far-field radiation pattern of the OPA array is formed by the coherent superposition of the radiation of each individual nano-antenna. Leveraging the existing simulation and design work on silicon waveguide nano-antennas, project team plans to design the antenna spacing and 2D configuration to achieve the optimized far-field radiation pattern with the best sidelobe suppression. The team also plans to realize a dense array of a 100-500-antenna 2-dimensional OPA system for an experimental proof-of-concept demonstration.
