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.

Community-scale Retrofit Scenario Analysis
1034838
Canada aims to reduce building-related greenhouse gas emissions by 40 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. As buildings account for 12% of national emissions mainly from space and water heating retrofitting existing stock is essential. This Project, led by NRC and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), supports the development of standardized methods and tools for community-scale retrofit scenario analysis. TMU will enhance building archetypes with detailed data to simulate retrofits in Toronto (ASHRAE CZ5) and Montreal (ASHRAE CZ6), contributing a tool to assess retrofit potential across varying grid carbon intensities. These efforts , NB (CZ7) and Northern communities like Paulatuk, NWT (CZ8), where prototype models are being developed using aggregate datasets. Together, the Project aims to identify effective retrofit pathways tailored to diverse regional contexts, enabling communities -based decisionShediac and Paulatuk use cases.

Science Investigations with Ground-based Measurements in Support of the Polar Night Experiment PONEX Campaign
25HAWCGROU
This project will contribute to the Arctic POlar Night EXperiment (PONEX) campaign, which is a sub-orbital component of the Canadian Space Agency’s High-altitude Aerosols, Water vapour and Clouds (HAWC) mission. PONEX will involve a coordinated ground-based and aircraft field campaign in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, in January 2026 and will be the first such campaign to employ aircraft during polar night. This project will support two trainees, who will participate in the deployment, operation, and data analysis of two of the ground-based instruments: a scanning Doppler Lidar and a Water Vapour Lidar, both provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada. These instruments will measure vertical wind profiles, cloud base heights, planetary boundary layer heights, aerosol backscatter profiles, and water Docusign Envelope ID: F463D985-E1B1-4924-AD6E-88066E1BE7B5 vapour profiles. These measurements, in combination with other PONEX ground-based and aircraft datasets, will be used to undertake science investigations in support of the HAWC scientific objectives.
