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.

Multifunction trail linking the Maison des aînés and the Carrefour Santé Globale to the City of Magog
The City of Magog wants to carry out a feasibility study and design a multifunctional trail for active transportation linking the current network to the Carrefour Santé Globale, near Highway 112. In particular , this will provide safe access to several local businesses (supermarket, sports store) and health services (medical clinic, physiotherapy, gyms, etc.).
Currently, Highway 112 has no sidewalks or bike lanes, and the speed limit is 70 km/h. Active transportation in this area is dangerous and seldom used.
That part of Magog is very densely populated as the majority of the housing there consists of multi-story condo towers (Club Azure, Memphré Club, Étoile du lac, etc.). In addition, construction is underway on the Maison des ainés (seniors residence), which will house about 50 special-care individuals, and there will be no health care facilities or local businesses within safe walking distance.
In short, by creating this link, the City of Magog will achieve the following:
-Ensure the safety of active transportation users along Highway 112
-Encourage walking and cycling in this area
-Reduce local residents’ dependence on cars
-Provide a safe link between the seniors residence and Carrefour Santé Globale for that vulnerable group
-Extend the Merry bicycle path linking the downtown area to the western part of the city
