Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

The main objective of this project is to develop and support the interest of high school students in Nunavik in sciences. Specifically, this project will result in the development of learning modules designed for the First Nations high school students. The resources will focus on the practical uses of space-based Earth Observation imagery (primarily from RADARSAT-2) and will integrate concrete activities related to understanding climate change. The expected initial reach includes 588 Francophone and 691 Anglophone students in Nunavik with wider subsequent reach through promotion and the creation of an Internet portal.

The main objective of this initiative is to provide undergraduate students with a learning opportunity to apply knowledge learned in physics courses to a real-life, hands-on experience. This is accomplished through student-led design, building and delivery of a short (one year) end to end space mission which will fly on a high altitude balloon.

The purpose of this initiative is to develop 10 original hands-on, tangible and tool-rich workshops that will allow students who are blind or have visual deficiencies to learn about space. This initiative is undertaken in response to a glaring need since resources of this nature are currently nonexistent in Canada and extremely limited worldwide. For the first time, both Anglophone and Francophone students within this special needs group will have the opportunity to “experience space”.
