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.

Cromwell area Sewer Separation and Flood Mitigation Project
The City of Sarnia has a significant need to upgrade its sanitary and stormwater sewer system. An increase in the frequency and intensity of storms has resulted in basement flooding and sewer overflows, threatening properties and the environment, including the St. Clair River. The proposed project would replace combined sewers with separate dedicated storm and sanitary sewers and upgrade the conveyance and retention capacity of the wastewater collection system. This would reduce the risk of future surface and basement flooding and sewer backups as well as improve the quality of waterflows into the environment. The objectives of ‘Cromwell area Sewer Separation and Flood Mitigation Project’ are: 1. Mitigate the surface and basement flooding in the project area of the City during extreme rain storm events. Thereby, improving Resilience of our wastewater collection system to extreme storm events in the project area. 2. Mitigate the of Combined Sewer Over flows into the St. Clair, River thereby improving the water quality in the St. Clair River and protecting downstream users /communities. 3. Enhancing hydraulic conveyance and retention capacity of the City's wastewater collection system, thereby mitigating the impact of extreme storm events. 4. Reduction in pumping and treating combined wastewater (storm and sanitary) flows.

Tashmoo Bike Path for promoting healthy lifestyles, accessibility and enhanced safety
Design and planning project for the addition of a bike path along the length of Tashmoo Avenue, a main road in the First Nation. The Community has identified a bike path as a priority through a Comprehensive Community Plan as a solution to promote healthy lifestyles, increase accessibility and enhance safety. The road is high traffic with narrow, unpaved shoulders that do not allow for the road to be safely shared with cyclists or pedestrians.
The end results will provide design and engineering plans required to cost and submit a capital project application.
