How to Proceed
1
Ensure Access to TPON System
Create a ONe-Key account for the library or contracting municipality to gain access to Ontario government programs and services. Since all libraries are already registered in Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON), link your profile to the organization’s existing profile and confirm that you are able to see the organization’s past applications and payments.
