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.

STA Enforcement Project in Oakville
The Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund aims to limit short-term rentals that take away units from the long-term rental market across the country. This is accomplished by providing grant funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities with existing strict regulatory regimes to support the local enforcement of short-term rental restrictions in an effort to make more long-term housing units available in Canada.

Crosstown Trail - Khalsa Gate to Sixteen Mile Creek - Oakville, Ontario
The Town of Oakville will upgrade a portion of its existing Crosstown Trail (4km in length) from a 2m wide (approx.) limestone screen trail to a 4m wide asphalt multi-use trail over the entire length. This will include the excavation and expansion of the trail of within the gas line corridor within the Northwest quadrant of the municipality. The project will also install rest areas with benches, bike racks, garbage cans, trail signage, safe pedestrian crossings at major roadways (i.e. intersection pedestrian signals and/or pedestrian crossovers), as well as landscaping and appropriate drainage work where required.
This project will provide valuable skills to young children, seniors, vulnerable populations, and the general public to take an active role in the safety of their neighbourhoods, promoting sustainable communities, increasing physical and mental health, and strengthening the social and economic benefits of active transportation. This initiative will also have additional benefits of continuing to create safe and vibrant public places for all users as the town continues to educate all transportation users on the high value of using public infrastructure for mobility purposes in a safe manner.
