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.

Sister Trails Community Engagement, Planning and Implementation
GC-2286
This contribution supports community engagement, planning and implementation of three “sister” trails. This project will gather existing Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) related to climate change, culturally significant plant species and species at risk which will be collected and utilized in planning site locations, conducting inventories, identifying the plant species to be planted and developing educational messages. Following engagement sessions, trail locations will be selected in Scotchfort (Abegweit First Nation), Lennox Island (Lennox Island First Nation) and Prince Edward Island National Park and work can begin to clear new trails or adapt existing trails as required.
