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.

The influence of the Polar Vortex on Artic Winter Clouds and Aerosol Interactions
25HAWCVORT
This project explores how the polar vortex—the large, swirling wind pattern in the Arctic—affects winter clouds and their interactions with tiny airborne particles called aerosols. Focusing on the area around Inuvik in the Northwest Territories, we will combine computer simulations with data collected from aircraft, satellites, and computer simulations of weather and concomitant weather records. The goal is to better understand how interactions, coupling and changes in the polar vortex influence cloud formation, storm patterns, and the movement of aerosols in the Arctic. And vice versa. Since these clouds play a crucial role in trapping heat during the long polar night, learning more about them will help improve climate predictions for the Arctic and beyond. The project will also test how different amounts of aerosols affect clouds, providing new insights into how Arctic weather and climate may change in the future.
