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.

Portfolio simulations
1023335
The Project Portfolio Simulations project aims to revolutionize project portfolio management by introducing advanced simulations. These simulations offer decision-makers a powerful tool for evaluating various portfolio scenarios, facilitating informed decision-making for project prioritization based on four key analysis factors: annual budgets, planned effort, risks and benefits aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives. The aim is to enable graphical visualization of data for improved understanding and analysis.

These Stories Have Walked a Long Way II
LHOV-05-011
This project builds on work funded through Listen, Hear Our Voices in 2020–2022, during which our university/community team repatriated 57 hours of Plains Cree recordings collected by the Royal Alberta Museum in 1972 from the community of Kawacatoose First Nation (KFN). The repatriated materials consist of digitized copies of the original reel-to-reel recordings made in the 1970s and accompanying written English summaries. While our digitized copies are now preserved from physical decay, they remain difficult to listen to due to poor recording quality and the idiomatic speech patterns of the speakers. Additionally, the transcripts produced in the 1970s were created by a speaker of Plains Cree from a different region, resulting in abbreviated shorthand and some mistranslations of the original spoken words.
Our objectives with this project are to: (1) select a subset of 20 stories to share with KFN members and the public through the (2) creation of accurate English translations of the selected recordings and the (3) creation of Standard Roman Orthography texts (written Plains Cree) of the selected recordings. These objectives will make the historic archival recordings, with their rich Plains Cree vocabulary and cultural content, available for future language learners while increasing the understanding of Plains Cree history among those participating in the project.
