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.

SARVAC - SARSCENE 2019 and SARSCENE 2020 National SAR Conferences
the PSIMS agreement number: 20917
The main objective of this project is to provide SAR responders, emergency services, public educators, policy makers and stakeholders the opportunity to meet in one location over 4 day period to discuss issues, opportunities and foster professional relationships. SARVAC would like to offer SAR partners the opportunity to have closed door discussions at pre-conference meetings, take part in a hands-on training day, chat with equipment representatives at the tradeshow exhibit, and participate in information sessions which include prevention, case studies, technology, vulnerable persons, mental health, SAR policy, hazards, and much more. The conference will provide communication in both official languages. Simultaneous interpretation will also be available when the conference is held in locations of predominantly French speaking regions of Quebec, New Brunswick and Ottawa. This conference will be collaborative in format, including all SAR - not just GSAR.

Implementing Web GIS for Ground Search and Rescue
the PSIMS agreement number: 20927
This project is about enhancing the use of GIS in search and rescue so as to improve final outcomes, improving interoperability between resources and among jurisdictions as well as streamlining record keeping and reporting. Currently, many GSAR teams are using freeware (e.g. OziExplorer, Avenza) that is not compatible with other jurisdictions and does not take advantage of many modern tools, such as mobile technologies. GSAR teams often do not have the technical knowledge, time, funds or skill to adapt these technologies to their situations. This project will build on the initial work that GSAR teams in Newfoundland have done to roll-out GIS for ground search and rescue. It aims to further the application of GIS through the use of web GIS tools and cellular technologies to improve search and rescue outcomes. This project will use ESRI Canada's ArcGIC platform, the MapSAR plug-in for ArcGIS, the integrated MapSAR functionality in D4H, and available web GIS apps and will be able to integrate with the Motorola radio system used by PEI GSAR.
