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.

(Assignment Agreement) FPCM - Pilot Demo of Advanced Circuit Technology for Critical Minerals Recovery
1040149
Syntra will conduct a pilot-scale demonstration of its proprietary Syncore. This project will process a range of complex, real-world Canadian feedstocks to validate the Syncore's superior recovery rates (>99%), environmental performance, and economic viability. The successful pilot will de-risk the technology for commercial scale-up and secure offtake agreements for our planned 1,000-tonne demonstration facility, anchoring a critical new cleantech capability in Canada.

(Assignment Agreement) Development of innovative processing control systems critical minerals processing technology process flow and design
1040152
Syntra will develop advanced process control systems for critical minerals recovery technology, optimizing extraction efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The project involves creating integrated control systems for sequence-based recovery circuits with real-time monitoring and adaptive parameter adjustment for variable feedstock. Leveraging learnings from developing collaborations, we'll build automation data to advance industry control language development. Expected outcomes include 20% reduction in energy/consumables usage, enhanced scalability to commercial operations, and improved recovery consistency across diverse feed sources.

Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems for Curve Lake FN, ON
The Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems Project in Curve Lake First Nation, Ontario aims to install up to three decentralised wastewater treatment systems using Miranda’s Rotating Biological Contactor technology. This initiative addresses urgent wastewater management needs, while supporting the community's growing infrastructure, in a sustainable manner. The systems will serve key areas, including community facilities, residential zones, a new police station, greenhouses, and a new housing subdivision (enabling up to 70 new housing units). These systems will replace traditional septic fields, offering high-efficiency treatment with a smaller environmental footprint. The project will deliver immediate improvements, cost savings, and environmental benefits to the community. They will also ensure reliable wastewater treatment for current and future needs, enhancing community infrastructure and sustainability.
