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.

City of Penticton Lake to Lake Bike Route - Final Section
"This project will construct the final section (approximately 1.6 km) of an all ages and abilities (AAA) bike route that will span from Okanagan Lake to Skaha lake in the City of Penticton, along with amenities along the route. The 6.5 km lake to lake cycling route is in the heart of Penticton, making it possible for cyclists of all ages and abilities to safely ride to key destinations, including schools, parks, trails, community facilities and shopping areas.
The first two and a half sections of the route were constructed in 2021 and 2022 following extensive public engagement, the remaining half of the third section will be constructed in 2023, and this final section will upgrade existing on street painted bike lanes to the AAA standard and complete the route. It will also include important supporting amenities for this section of the route including a number of bike maintenance stations, public water bottle filling stations, improved lighting, and bench/rest areas."
