What are transfers?
Transfers touch the lives of all Canadians. But there are different kinds of transfers designed for different purposes. Some are meant to support specific provincial and territorial programs – such as health care, post-secondary education, social assistance and early childhood development in all provinces and territories – while others provide more general funding exclusively for less prosperous provinces. And some are specifically designed for a region with special needs – like the Canadian north. These transfers take a number of different forms, but there are three major programs that account for most of the funding – The Equalization Program, Territorial Formula Funding (TFF), and the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST).
Transfers have been defined in the NPI National Environment Protection Measure (NEPM) as the transport or movement, on-site or off-site, of substances to a mandatory reporting transfer destination or a voluntary reporting transfer destination. There are some exceptions and these include the transport or movement of substances contained in overburden, waste rock, uncontaminated soil, uncontaminated sediment, rock removed in construction or road building, or soil used for the capping of landfills. A transfer is the transport or movement, on-site or off-site, of substances contained in waste for: • containment • destruction • treatment that leads to: • reuse, recycling or reprocessing • purification or partial purification • remediation, or • immobilisation • energy recovery. The transfers listed above are divided into mandatory and voluntary reporting destinations. If waste is transported to a destination for containment or destruction, reporting is mandatory.

Transfers are motorcoach transportation provided by the cruise line between the airport and the cruise pier. Transfers are most often arranged prior to your cruise, although sometimes they can be purchased in the airport with the help of a cruise line representative. There is generally a fee for this service, which varies depending on the cruise line and the cruise departure city. Some cruise lines do include complimentary transfers when you purchase an Air/Sea package. Your Vacations To Go cruise counselor will verify the cost of transfers at the time of booking.
Transfers are the movement of NPI substances on or off-site. It is mandatory for facilities to report a transfer if NPI substances are transferred in waste streams1 to: • a destination for containment including: • landfill • tailings storage facility • underground injection, or • other long term purpose-built waste storage structure • a destination for destruction • an off-site sewerage system, or • an off-site treatment facility which leads solely to one or more of the above. For convenience these destinations are considered to be ‘final destinations’, although this may not be the case in all situations. Facilities may also wish to report a transfer to a voluntary reporting transfer destination if the NPI substances contained in waste streams are transferred to a destination for: • reuse • recycling • reprocessing • purification • partial purification • immobilisation • remediation, or • energy recovery. Reporting a transfer to a voluntary reporting transfer destination is an opportun
