Details of Transfer Payment Programs (TPP)

(in thousands of dollars)

Name of Transfer Payment Program: General Class Contribution Program (GCCP)

Start date: 2006–2007

End date: March 31, 2011

Purpose of Transfer Payment Program: The GCCP is atypical in that it is not a program within itself; rather, it is a funding authority available to Agency managers.  From time to time, Agency managers with programming responsibilities may determine that, given their priorities, available resources, other program delivery mechanisms already in place, and the players and environment in which they deliver their programs, use of a contribution agreement is the most effective means of achieving program objectives.

Expected Results: More Canadians recognizing, appreciating and being engaged in the values of natural and cultural conservation.  Stakeholders being further engaged in terms of interest and involvement of common objectives towards ecological and cultural integrity.  Access to a better knowledge base on commercial, ecological or aboriginal issues of mutual interest for informed decision-making and dialogue for Parks Canada managers and stakeholders.  Heritage assets are protected, secured and researched.  Targeted audiences are educated in such areas as ecology, safety and other issues.

Expected Outcomes: The expected outcomes mirror the Parks Canada mandate of engaging Canadians in preserving and presenting Canada’s rich diversity of cultural and natural heritage.

Name of Transfer Payment Program: National Historic Sites Cost Sharing Class Contribution Program (NHSCCSP)

Start date: 2008–2009

End date: March 31, 2013

Purpose of Transfer Payment Program: The NHSCCSP assists recipients in conducting activities aimed at ensuring the commemorative integrity of non-federally owned or administered national historic sites and, thereby, to support Parks Canada Agency in fulfilling its mandate to protect and present nationally significant examples of Canada’s natural and cultural heritage, and foster public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations. Specifically, the program provides financial contributions to eligible recipients to share the costs of eligible works deemed by Parks Canada as necessary to ensure the physical health of a national historic site and to ensure Canadians understand the importance of the site and its role in the history of Canada.

Expected Results/Expected Outcomes:

Reach Strategic (End) Outcomes

Canadians

(indirect influence)
  • Canadians feel a greater sense of connection to each other, their history, identity and historic places
  • More historic places are conserved and “given a function in the life of communities” (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO)
  • National historic sites provide improved access to significant, diverse cultural heritage
Reach Intermediate Outcomes
  • Canadians interested in heritage protection (i.e., other potential funders, experts, heritage organizations, and interested individuals)
  • Owners of national historic sites
  • The federal government is seen as a leader in creating a culture of conservation (Owners, other governments, heritage experts and other interested parties see the federal government as making a meaningful contribution to the conservation of national historic sites)
  • Nationally significant examples of Canada’s cultural heritage, not administered by the federal government, are maintained and improved (i.e. threats to or deterioration of heritage resources are mitigated or reduced)
Reach Immediate Outcomes
  • Owners of national historic sites
  • Eligible owners are aware of the program, make inquiries and submit applications
  • Eligible owners are satisfied with the program, the information/tools/ support and application process (e.g. clarity of material, ease of application, helpfulness of staff, fairness of process), and believe it adds credibility and legitimacy to their project
  • Recipients are able to undertake work they would otherwise have been unable to afford, either in whole or in part, and/or the timing of the project is advanced
  • Recipients respect (i.e. comply with) the terms and conditions of their agreements (i.e. where relevant work is completed according to the Standards and Guidelines, other sources of support are obtained as outlined in agreements, timelines are respected)

Strategies / Comments

  1. Targeted emissions include GHG emissions from energy consumed by facilities and fleet owned and operated by Parks Canada.
  2. A comprehensive emission tracking system is currently in place.
  3. Targets will be given to each field unit and service centre. Progress reports will be developed for each unit and will be shared annually.
  4. The Parks Canada Master plan for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gases will be updated and communicated to staff. This plan outlines strategies to improve the energy efficiency of the fleet and facilities, implement the use of renewable fuels and renewable energy systems, and engage employees.
  5. Because Parks Canada’s GHG output increased slightly from 2005-06 to 2009-10, the actual reduction required to meet the 2011-12 target is 2.2% from the 2009-10 fiscal year.
  6. Weather conditions have a significant influence over the quantity of energy Parks Canada consumes in a given year.

Other reporting considerations:

  1. The number of procurement and contracting processes and controls will be tracked.
  2. Parks Canada will continue to explore the integration of environmental performance into planning, acquisition, use and disposal, which can improve the purchasing of green products, reduce the in-use costs and ensure disposal is in accordance with environmental standards. This will include the purchasing of greener products, whether more energy efficient, less harmful or containing a higher percentage of recycled material, which can make a significant impact.
  3. Internal policies on procurement and materiel management will be reviewed and updated to integrate environmental considerations in decision making, from the procurement through to the disposal process.

National Park and National Historic Site Entry Fees 

Proposed amendments 		Service Parks Canada Agency Act Adjustments to national pricing to keep pace with inflationary pressures on costs and to realign entry fees with the level of service being offered. 2012/2013
2013/2014

In 2010, Parks Canada announced a one year extension to the previously announced fee freeze due to the slow economic recovery. As such, all fees for entry, camping, canal lockage, recreation fees, fishing licenses, hot pools and business licenses will be frozen at 2008 rates until March 2012. Commercial fees will be frozen at 2009 rates until March 2013.

For the proposed 2012/13 and 2013/14 adjustments, Parks Canada will consult on two levels in 2011. National consultations will occur for all user fees that are to be applied nationally. The Agency will hold meetings with commercial group tour operators at travel trade shows, consult directly with national stakeholders and tourism interest groups and use social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

For user fees of a unique local nature, to a national park, national historic site and national marine conservation area, Parks Canada will consult locally with the affected public, business operators, tourism partners and stakeholders through meetings with advisory and client groups and through direct mailings and posted notices.

In both instances notice will be provided on the Parks Canada website on the proposals for price increases.

A comparison of Parks Canada’s proposed fees with those charged by parks organizations in Canada and other countries will be conducted.

Pursuant to the User Fees Act, a national fee proposal will be tabled in January 2012 prior to being submitted to the Minister responsible for Parks Canada for enactment.

To respect our commitment to provide 18 months advance notice, implementation of the proposed new business fees and commercial rates will be 2013/14.
