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.

Cedarwood Sanitary Pump Station Reconstruction Project
The Cedarwood Sanitary Pump Station was constructed in 1972 and services an area totaling in approximately 920 hectares within the Town of Tecumseh. The pumping station is currently equipped with screw pumps which have been in service for over 50 years and require replacement in the near future. Climate change related to increasing rainfall events have had significant impacts on the region, including rising water levels in Lake St. Clair. Over the last ten years, the Cedarwood drainage area has been experiencing an increase in basement flooding cases during severe storm events. The implementation of the project will address multiple issues identified within the existing pumping station to improve its efficiency and performance and mitigate the risk of basement flooding within the service area.

Lesperance Road & Little River Boulevard Multi-Use Pathway
The Lesperance Road & Little River Boulevard Multi-Use Pathway involves the installation of approximately 2.51 kilometers of multi-use pathway along Lesperance Road from Riverside Drive to First Street and on Little River Boulevard from Lesperance Road to Gauthier Street in the Town of Tecumseh. This project is aimed at strategically improving the active transportation network within the Town through the interconnection of approximately 30 kilometers of existing active transportation facilities both within the Town and neighbouring communities (Ganatchio Trail, Riverside Pathway (2022), Little River Pathway, McNorton Pathway). Installation of this pathway will increase active transportation access to the Town’s downtown commercial centre (Tecumseh Road) and recreation facilities such as the arena and recreation complex, and local parks (Arrowhead, Chippewa, Col. Paul Poisson, Tecumseh Centre, and Tecumseh Dog Park). Implementation of this project will provide access to active transport
