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.

Breaking Down Barriers: Advancing Workplace Equity and Inclusion
WP230510
Through this 33-month systemic change project, Sudbury Women’s Centre will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within high-paying, male-dominated industries such as mining, construction, and engineering. These industries provide a vast majority of the stable, quality positions within Northern Ontario’s employment market. The project will achieve this by conducting a needs assessment; developing both online training and a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion assessment tool; creating a collaborative network of relevant agencies, which will then be used to distribute resources and knowledge to organizations within these industries; and testing these resources with individual women and employers. The project will also undertake research into the sustainability of the activities. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
