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.

Empowering Underrepresented Youth to Develop and Deliver Space Science Programming
25EDISCI16
Science North and Laurentian University offer Canada’s first and only program dedicated to training the next generation of science communication professionals.
In collaboration with SNOLAB, Canada’s deep underground research laboratory, Science North will present a 2-hour Special Topics class on Science Communication (SCOM) to 30 post-secondary students, with 90% of those students from underrepresented groups, including women, 2SLGBTQ+, visible minorities, and neurodivergent individuals.
This course will focus on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) in Science Communication, utilizing the space science sector as a case study for a field that, through the efforts of the Canadian Space Agency, is progressively becoming more diverse and equitable. Best practices for incorporating EDIA in the development of hands-on workshops will be explored, along with delivery methods that enable diverse audiences to see themselves represented in workshop content. A SNOLAB staff member from an underrepresented group will provide real-world examples of careers in space science and space science communication to inspire future career pathways for underrepresented groups.
The project includes two 9-week paid internships with Science North to SCOM students from underrepresented groups, during which they will develop space science workshops for pre-service teachers (160 post-secondary students), as well as for public audiences engaged at the science centre.
