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.

Decarbonization strategies for the London Solar Community
1038190
This project forms a subcomponent of the SEED Living Lab located in the West 5 and EVE Park communities of London, Ontario. It aims to test, refine, and accelerate neighbourhood‑scale pathways to electrification and decarbonization. In partnership with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Concordia University leads the deployment of a smart energy system integrating photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, microgrids, and energy storage technologies to assess technical performance, affordability, and community acceptance. Through the use of digital twins and data‑driven modelling, the project will evaluate gains in energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and system resilience. Expected outcomes include the development of retrofit strategies and policy recommendations to support the design and large‑scale implementation of low‑carbon communities across Canada. The NRC contributes to tool development and code harmonization, while Concordia provides performance data, calibrated models, and stakeholder insights.
