Purpose and objectives of transfer payment

The Pacific Salmon Endowment Fund Society was established by a $30 million federal grant made by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in February 2001. Annual investment revenues generated by Endowment Fund assets are provided to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization, to undertake activities that support salmon and their habitat. In the 2018 Fall Fiscal Update, an additional contribution of $5 million to the Pacific Salmon Endowment Fund was announced and subsequently, a one-time federal grant was made by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to the Pacific Salmon Endowment Fund in 2018-19. This was announced in conjunction with the plan to create the British Columbia Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund jointly with the province of British Columbia.
