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.

A new air handling system is required in order to maintain the space for the twelve non-profit organizations that currently operate out of the building. Failure to correct this problem will lead to the closure of the building and will severely affect all stakeholders, including CSC and CORCAN, and the Indigenous communities they all serve.

Free to Grow in Forestry - Addressing Systemic Issues on Gender, Diversity & Inclusion
NA21152
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Canadian Institute of Forestry (CIF) will achieve this by developing a governance structure through engaging and establishing working partnerships; building the evidence base through data collection on underrepresented groups in greater depth by region; fostering an inclusive culture by developing and providing training and skills development on improving the workplace culture; and repositioning the forest sector with communications strategies and progress tracking.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. CIF will also achieve this by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes.
This project seeks to scale up a past successful project, Gender Equity in the Forest Sector National Action Plan, in accelerating progress on women’s equality and the equality of other under-represented groups in all employment categories in Canada’s forest sector. In this scale up, the project will increase networks and collaboration by leveraging existing National Steering Committee partnerships and build new regional committees in Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions across the forest sector supply chain to provide strategic governance of the project.
