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.

Emerging Zoonoses in Wildlife: Understanding the Ecology, Transmission and Impacts of Brucella and Erysipelothrix for Conservation and Food Security in the Changing Arctic
Two important bacterial zoonoses have recently emerged in Inuit Nunangat: Erysipelothrix, a novel cause of widespread mortality for muskoxen, and Brucella, which has increased in prevalence in caribou and muskoxen. Together, these diseases pose serious risks to the sustainability of these wildlife species upon which communities depend. Moreover, they are a public health risk for those handling or consuming country foods. We aim to bring together Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) and western knowledge to gain a better understanding of these emerging zoonoses and how they are impacted by climate change, and then use this knowledge to protect human health and inform wildlife management.

Inuksiutit: Food Sovereignty in Nunavut and the co-production of country food knowledge
The Inuksiutit project (IFSNu) directly addresses food sovereignty issues in Inuit Nunangat communities. IFSNu brings together Inuit and non-Inuit academics, community-based researchers, Inuit knowledge holders, Elders and young people with expertise in: country food and Inuit nutrition, public health and epidemiology, social anthropology, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, participatory/Indigenous methodologies, curatorial practice, and Inuit visual and performing arts. We will address questions such as: In what ways do Inuit food stories renew social bonds with ancestors, uphold community customs, and foster healthy eating practices to support community health?
