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.

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry and Shoal Detection for Safer Navigation
Hydrographic survey companies can use maps of water depth to plan their surveys and avoid grounding their vessels in shallow water, engineering firms can use them to plan building of parts and shoreline protection, and shipping companies can use them in addition to official charts to safely navigate poorly charted waters of the Canadian Arctic.

A cloud-based, automated surface deformation mapping framework using artificial neural networks and radar interferometry: Steps toward commercializing RADARSAT Constellation Mission data
KorrAI Technologies is combining Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) with cloud computing and artificial intelligence to provide an efficient framework to automatically detect changes in surface movement. With the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) repeat interval of 4 days in Canada, KorrAI Technologies’s solution will provide near real-time, dynamic surface deformation monitoring. KorrAI Technologies proposes to commercialize the petabytes of over twenty years’ worth of historical radar data collected from the previous RADARSAT-1 mission, as well as ongoing data collected by the RCM mission, providing Canadian firms with an unprecedented level of data access and analytical capabilities.

Advancing Canada's role in earth observation with SIKU: Enhancing sea ice safety and climate monitoring by mobilizing Inuit expertise and EO data through machine learning
This project builds on the Arctic Eider Society's online platform and mobile app called SIKU: The Indigenous Knowledge Social Network, to deliver an enhanced SIKU Ice Map. The project will incorporate RADARSAT Constellation Mission data and other satellite imagery, observations made by Inuit community members, drone data, and machine learning techniques to identify dangerous conditions such as polynyas within the landfast ice.
