REPORT NO.: FIN -2022-312
SUBJECT: Grant Update - 2020 & 2021
RECOMMENDATION:
For information
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
• The purpose of this report is to provide Council with requested information regarding grants
for the past two years.
• During 2020 & 2021 the City of Kitchener received or was approved for $117M of external
grant funding
• This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
During a previous meeting, Council asked staff for information related to the City's grant
applications. This report includes information regarding grants for 2020 & 2021, and is
anticipated to be an annual report to Council going forward.
REPORT:
Due to the diligence and efforts of staff across the organization to identify and apply for grants,
during 2020 & 2021 the City of Kitchener received or was approved for $117M of external grant
funding. Nearly half of this funding ($50M) relates to a single grant, the Disaster Mitigation and
Adaptation Fund (DMAF) which will be received over a number of years to help the City improve
its resiliency to climate change. Other large grant amounts include:
• $21.6M in Canada Community Building Funding (formerly Federal Gas Tax) towards City
capital projects
• $20AM in Safe Restart & COVID-19 Recovery funding to offset the impacts of the
pandemic
• $17.9M in Community, Culture, and Recreation funding for the Aquatics Centre at RBJ
Schlegel Park

In addition to the funding highlighted above and in the attached schedule, the City also supports
grant applications for related organizations such as Centre in the Square and THEMUSEUM.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This report supports the delivery of core services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Grant funding received from other levels of government or other third party organizations help
reduce the cost to the City to provide valued programs and services to its citizens. Without these
grants, the City would have to consider other options such as:
• Increasing tax/user rates
• Reducing project scope
• Cancelling projects
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the
council / committee meeting.
PREVIOUS REPORTS/AUTHORITIES:
There are no previous reports/authorities related to this matter.
APPROVED BY: Jonathan Lautenbach, Chief Financial Officer
