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.

Making Waves: Addressing Systemic Barriers and Creating Systemic Change for Indigenous Women and 2 Spirited Peoples Within the Blue Economy
WP240269
Through this 25-month project Workforce Warrior will create a four-pronged solutions-based system to address systemic barriers for women in the blue economy. The goal of the project is to create space and place within the ocean economy for Indigenous peoples, and more specifically women and gender-diverse individuals, to grow and thrive in meaningful careers in the blue economy. This will be achieved through the creation of an information portal and guidance mentors to support employers and employees on the employment journey. There will be synchronous monthly meetings with Elders/Knowledge Keepers on items of interest within the sector, and research compiled and shared on challenges for women within the blue economy, identification of systemic barriers, best practices for addressing systemic barriers, practical applications for sustainable change.
