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.

2 Spirits in Motion Society GBV Capacity
SO220004
Through this 24-month project, 2 Spirits in Motion Society (2SiMS) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. The hiring of a 2 Spirit Cultural and Prevention Coordinator and a 2 Spirit Cultural Event Coordinator will increase GBV capacity within the organization, helping to prevent further harm and increasing security within 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities. This will be achieved through GBV preventative approaches such as Equinox gatherings and the harvesting and sharing of traditional medicines, and the prioritization of Indigenous healing practices, such as pipe ceremonies, blessings, and storytelling.
To preserve and promote 2 Spirit knowledge, 2SiMS will work with Elders and knowledge holders to digitally document 2S Creation Stories. Information on Indigenous methodologies of medicine harvesting and teachings about each medicine will be documented and posted online to share the knowledge. Access to medicines for 2SiMS staff, 2SiMS Board of Directors, Elder Council, Youth Council, kin organizations and other 2SiMS members will promote healing and help to prevent further harm within 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities.
