2010-11 Impact Tables
The following three tables summarize the impact of WD’s Grants and Contribution-funded projects over time, and are provided as a supplement to WD’s 2010-11 Departmental Performance Report (DPR):
- Table 2 summarizes the impact of Grants and Contribution-funded projects that realized final results during 2010–11, based upon the outcome performance measures specific to one of three Program Activities (Business Development, Innovation, or Community Economic Development);
- Table 3 summarizes the final cumulative Infrastructure Canada Program (ICP) results for Western Canada; and
- Table 4 summarizes the cumulative impact of Community Adjustment Fund (CAF) and Recreational Infrastructure Canada program (RInC) as of March 31, 2011. CAF and RInC are part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan (EAP).
(Table 1 is included in the 2010-11 DPR, and summarizes WD’s 2010-11 Grants and Contributions expenditures by Program Activity.)
