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.

Sharing Knowledge and Building Relationships for Fuel Break Food Forests
FEL-2425-0001
Project will use participatory action research to explore with these communities how fuel break food forests can integrate Indigenous land stewardship and sustainable agriculture that works with boreal ecosystems into critical wildfire protection infrastructure. Further, this project seeks to share knowledge between Ka’a’gee Tu First Nation, Teslin Tlingit Council, and other communities interested in exploring this co-benefit for successful fuel break food forests across the north.

Inuit Qaujisarnirmut Pilirijjutit on Arctic Shipping Risks in Inuit Nunangat
FEL-2425-0002
The project objectives are to analyse historic ship traffic throughout Inuit Nunangat, to model ship source underwater noise near communities, conduct in-situ sampling of potential ship-sourced air and water pollution, evaluate potential for non-indigenous species introduction from ships, and to develop risk maps and recommendations for shipping governance.

Permafrost thaw as a potential driver of unforeseen cyanobacteria blooms in Canada's North
FEL-2425-0003
The project aims to characterize present and future cyanobacteria risks (e.g., field surveys and bioassays), as well as historical perspectives to reconstruct long-term records of environmental change (e.g., paleolimnology). Examining lakes with varying morphologies and underlying permafrost conditions can aid in understanding different lake sensitivities to cyanobacteria blooms in northern environments.
