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.

Agreement:

Canada-Québec Agreement to Address Gender-Based Violence

Agreement Number:

SO230253

Duration: from Apr 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This 4 years federal–provincial agreement will address gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence is a priority for the Government of Québec, which has invested significant funds to end violence against women. However, although it supports the overall objectives of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, the Government of Québec cannot adhere to it because it intends to retain its full responsibility in this area on its territory. Through an agreement that respects its autonomy, the Government of Québec expects to receive its fair share of federal funding to support the programs, initiatives, and services to end gender-based violence that it puts in place based on the needs of its territory.

SO220018

Duration: from Mar 22, 2023 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

This 36-month project will allow the Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre (CAAVD) to increase its ability to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) against women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ persons in the Val-d’Or Indigenous community and refer them to appropriate resources, including community justice, health and social services and traditional healing resources. The steps involved in achieving this objective will begin with an analysis of the organization’s internal operations, the identification of gaps in mechanisms and clinical process flows, development of an action plan, dissemination of objectives and development of the tools to overcome obstacles identified in the fight against the GBV. Next, CAAVD will organize interactive activities leading to integration of the tools and mechanisms developed. Lastly, the tools and mechanisms created will be assessed, consolidated and permanently implemented within the organization.
This project will engage key CAAVD partners to gather their input on their relationship with the organization and for partnership mapping purposes.

By the end of the project, CAAVD will have developed administrative and practical tools and a repository of lessons learned, including consultations with women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ persons from the community, and key CAAVD partners, to remedy issues related to support for women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ members of the Val-d’Or Indigenous community.

Duration: from Mar 17, 2023 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

This 12-month project will build partnerships and increase community relations in order to strengthen the overall 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, leading to better understanding and support for 2 Spirit people across Canada.

To achieve this, 2 Spirits in Motion Society will work with national Indigenous organizations, national LGBTQQIA+ organizations, universities and community groups to ensure there is space and safety within these organizations for 2 Spirit people. Based on consultations with Indigenous organizations, a data collection and management system to inform on the needs of 2 Spirit people in urban and rural locations will be developed, with the goal of determining the unique needs of 2 Spirit people in different geographic environments.

Lastly, addressing the intersectional discrimination that 2 Spirit people encounter, two awareness campaigns, one focused on homophobia and one focused on racism, will be created. The campaigns will promote the visibility and positive representation of 2 Spirit people, in order to create safer places for them in both rural and urban settings across Canada.

Description:

Through this 13-month project, Metis Central Western Region II (MCWRII) will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing 2SLGBTQI+ communities in northern Saskatchewan.

This will be achieved through consultations with youth, families, partners, and the larger communities to identify the needs of Indigenous 2SLGBTQI+ youth. With support from OUTSaskatoon, MCWRII staff will be trained to assist youth and their allies in connecting to resources using a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) framework in line with Two-Spirit (2S) support, with a focus on mental health. Consultations with schools and community leadership will also occur, alongside a review of policies with partner organizations. MCWRII will collaborate with schools to pilot a Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) program to provide support to youth and educate staff, the community, and families about sexual and gender diversity. MCWRII will create awareness and resources using digital storytelling and photovoice to allow youth and their allies to share their lived experiences within the project. Through this project, MCWRII will also engage with funders, government, and other stakeholders to seek long-term solutions to the system gaps identified and will create a manual for 2SLGBTQI+ supports and resources.
