Summary of annual plans of recipient:
In accordance with article 9 of its funding agreement, CAPI submitted the required Business Plan for 2011-12 in February 2011. An interim performance evaluation of CAPI was done by an independent auditor and submitted by CAPI to AAFC in June 2010. The 2010-11 Annual Report was received in July 2011.

At its Annual General Meeting in June 2009, the CAPI Board of Directors confirmed the Institute's three-year objectives and research strategy, after input from its advisory committee and with broad input from consultations with academia, government and the agri-food chain organizations. CAPI's three-year objectives are to shape a national dialogue by addressing the policy models for the emerging agri-food world; to define Canada's advantage through the themes of food and wellness, sustainability, viability, and to develop the policy linkages to improve competitiveness and profitability of the sector.

To meet this target, two projects types have been identified. The first, referred to as Partnership projects, aims to leverage industry and government support to address specific sector challenges and policy issues. The second, referred to as Visionary projects, will explore critical issues in the agri-food sector, identify policy options and engage decision-makers in dialogue.

Summary of annual plans of recipient:
The impact of the one-year extension of the grant to TCT has been significant. During 2010-11, the organization undertook a critical analysis of trail development in different regions. This led to the development and implementation of a Connection Plan which permitted revisions to the methods used to connect the Trail sections. The Connection Plan will concentrate efforts on the goal of completing the Trail by 2017. 

A donation of ad space and print ad design resulted in ten ads appearing in the Globe and Mail in 2010-11 to highlight different sections of the Trans Canada Trail and introduce Canadians across the country to the Trail initiative. These donations will continue annually until 2017.

During this period, TCT negotiated a new contribution agreement with the Government of Canada. The Government will invest a further $10 million through Parks Canada.

The 2010-15 TCT Strategic Plan will continue to guide actions around four pillars: Generate Funding, Build Reputation, Facilitate Trail Building and Promote the Benefits of the Trail.

Name of recipient: Green Municipal Fund (GMF)

Start date: February 2000

End date: In perpetuity

Description: The Green Municipal Fund (GMF) is a $550M revolving fund administered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in support of grants, loans and loan guarantees to encourage investment in environmental municipal projects. The Government of Canada endowed the FCM with a total of $550 million for this initiative through a series of Budget decisions from 2000 to 2005.

The GMF was established to have a positive impact on the health and the quality of life of Canadians by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving local air, water and soil quality and promoting renewable energy by supporting environmental studies and projects within the municipal sector. Eligible projects may fall in one or more of the following categories: energy, water, waste, sustainable transportation, brownfields, or integrated community projects. $150 million is to be used exclusively to support brownfield remediation and redevelopment.

The amount of GMF financing available to municipalities is directly related to the environmental benefits and/or innovation of the projects undertaken, with grant-loan combinations of up to 80 percent of eligible costs available for capital projects with exceptional environmental benefits.       

The FCM has created two advisory bodies, the GMF Council and the Peer Review Committee, as stipulated in the GMF Funding Agreement between the FCM and the Government of Canada. The Council’s role is to assist the FCM Board of Directors, the decision-making body for the GMF, in approving projects proposed by municipalities. The 15-member GMF Council includes 5 federal members: 2 from Environment Canada, 2 from Natural Resources Canada and 1 from Transport Canada. All federal members are appointed by the FCM Board of Directors based on recommendations from the Minister of Environment. Environment Canada peer reviewers provide the GMF and federal Council Members with expert environmental science and clean technology advice. They also review and analyze funding proposals and help evaluate the environmental outcomes of funded projects.

In fulfillment of these requirements, a minimum of $150 million in low-interest loans will be available for capital projects in 2011–2012. Of this amount, a minimum total of $85 million will be available for brownfield projects.

A minimum total of $5 million will be available in grants for capital projects. This amount has been allocated consistent with the funding levels targeted for loans. Under the provisions of the Funding Agreement, brownfield projects are not eligible for grants.

Performance measures
To measure and demonstrate the qualitative, quantitative, short-term and long-term success of the GMF, the planned activities for 2011–2012 include the following:

• Streamlining operations: Establish the prospect, application and contract-to-disbursement process so that the process is defined by an indicator, standard timeline and performance reporting, and facilitates access and participation for both rural and urban municipalities and across regions.
• Determining and understanding the needs of the GMF target audience: Focus activities and develop products so that they are aligned with client needs.
• Measuring outcomes: Measure and demonstrate the qualitative, quantitative, short-term and long-term success of the GMF.
• Leveraging for greater impact: Collaborate with stakeholders (e.g. other funding agencies, NGOs, governments, service providers, etc.) for mutual benefit and greater overall impact reflected in projects, plans and studies approved for funding by FCM.
• Building capacity: Deliver knowledge, training and networking activities that leverage the GMF to accelerate the implementation, communication and replication of sustainability initiatives in Canadian municipalities.
• Focused marketing: Design and implement highly targeted, customer-based messaging and sales activities that speak to the direct needs of our priority markets.
• Integrating communications: Ensure that targeted/core priority messages are infused, supported and integrated into all GMF points of touch, both internally and externally.
• Funding brownfields: Continue to provide best efforts to achieve $150 million in funding by 2012.

End date: Until the total funding is expended (note that the funding agreement is a grant)

Description: Funding enables the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) to implement the Natural Areas Conservation Program. The Conservancy works to ensure the long-term protection of biodiversity by working with private landowners to secure ecologically significant lands that have been identified as priorities for conservation. The Conservancy acquires and preserves private land through one of four methods: land purchase, land donations, conservation easements and relinquishment of rights. The goal of the program is to secure 200,000 ha of private land for conservation.

Summary of annual plans of recipient: The Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP) operates on the basis of the EC-approved annual NACP Work Plan.  The NACP Work Plan is based on priorities approved by the NACP Program Committee for the coming fiscal year of the Nature Conservation of Canada (July 1 to June 30 of the following year). The annual workplan identifies priority areas for land acquisition and projects the expenditures and number of land transactions (including acreage) anticipated for those priority areas. Required funding is transferred each fall based on the approved workplan.

In terms of performance reporting for the program, NCC submits to EC in December a yearly progress report that highlights the land transactions and other achievements in meeting the program’s goals. In turn, these progress reports shape the activities for the following year’s workplan. It is important to note that, as with other land conservation initiatives that use land securement, conservation easements, and other means to increase the volume of private land conserved, the program’s achievements are dependent on the landowners’ engagement and willingness to close the deal in a timely fashion.

1. SD Tech Fund

As of June 2011, SDTC’s SD Tech Fund has allocated $548 million to 223 projects. SDTC’s allocation has been leveraged by an additional $1.3 billion in contributions from the private and public project partners for a total project value of $1.9 billion. SDTC has estimated that all projects funded from 2002 to December 2010 have the potential to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 7 to 17 megatonnes by the end of 2015.

Each year, the SD Tech Fund allocates funds to approved projects and then, over time, disburses those funds. Allocations and disbursements occur on separate timelines. Annual disbursements are projected to be $80 million in 2011 (which will result in total disbursements of $300 million to $315 million by the end of 2011) and $85 million to $100 million in both 2012 and 2013.

2. NextGen Biofuels Fund (NGBF)

The amount transferred to date from the Government of Canada to SDTC’s NGBF is $66.3 million (half from Environment Canada and half from Natural Resources Canada). From April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, SDTC plans to disburse $31.9 million to NGBF projects. Accordingly, SDTC has sufficient funds on hand for FY 2012-13 and no new transfers are needed for that period. SDTC plans to allocate the entire $500 million (possibly to 4 or 5 projects) by the end of December 2012 and to fully disburse $500 million to NGBF projects by March 31, 2017, according to the 2012 Corporate Plan.

3. Name of recipient: Green Municipal Fund (GMF) (Statutory)

Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Green Municipal Fund (GMF) formerly known as the Green Municipal Enabling Fund (GMEF) and the Green Municipal Investment Fund (GMIF)

4. Start date: March 31, 2000

5. End date: In perpetuity

6. Description:
The Government of Canada endowed the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), a non-profit organization, with $550 million* to establish the Green Municipal Fund (GMF) to provide long-term, sustainable financing for municipal governments and their partners.  The GMF invests in plans, studies and projects that provide the best examples of municipal leadership in sustainable development and that can be replicated in other Canadian communities.

The intent of the GMF is to encourage investment in environmental municipal infrastructure.  Specifically, the priorities of the fund are to have a positive impact on the health and the quality of life of Canadians by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving local air, water and soil quality and promoting renewable energy by supporting environmental studies and projects within the municipal sector.  Additional considerations include the potential for economic and/or social benefit.

The amount of GMF financing available to municipalities is directly related to the environmental, economic and social benefits of the projects undertaken.  Grants of up to 50% to a maximum of $350,000 are available for plans, studies and field tests.  GMF can provide below-market financing for capital projects up to 80% of costs to a maximum of $10 million in loans combined with $1 million in grants (up to a maximum of 20% of the loan amount) per project.  Brownfield projects are eligible for below-market loans only, with no funding limit.

Under the GMF agreement, the Government of Canada (represented by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Environment Canada) participates in governance of this revolving fund, along with representatives from the public and private sectors, including municipal officials and technical experts, through a Peer Review Committee and an Advisory Council.

The FCM Board of Directors approves projects based on the Council’s recommendations. As of November 31, 2011, the GMF had approved more than $553 million for over 875 sustainable community plans, feasibility studies, field tests and capital projects with the potential to leverage over $3 billion of economic activity in 434 Canadian communities.  Actual environmental benefits include the reduction of an estimated 1.75 million tonnes of CO₂ annually from 40 completed capital projects.
