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.

The project aims to monitor different types of land movement in the Greater Quebec City region for the period of 2008-2016. Emphasis will be placed on expanding InSAR's (interferometry) use in the monitoring of geological and hydrogeological process in an urban environment.
$49,800.00
May 20, 2016
This project aims to exploit the RADARSAT-2 Interferometry (InSAR) in permafrost characterization and establish the relationship in the surface deformation between freezing and melting stage as well as the active layer characteristics.
$50,000.00
May 20, 2016
The objective of this project is to investigate the capabilities of InSAR based RADARSAT-2 data in generating high resolution Digital Elevation Model (up to 5m) and monitoring the movement and displacement of river ice covers in high northern latitudes.

The Youth Employment Strategy is the Government of Canada's commitment to help young people, particularly those facing barriers to employment, get the information and gain the skills, work experience and abilities they need to make a successful transition to the workplace.
$49,450.00
May 13, 2016
This project seeks to use RADARSAT-2 SAR interferometry combined with a hydrodynamic model to study the hydrodynamics of the Peace-Athabasca Delta in northern Alberta.
$50,000.00
May 13, 2016
The objective of this project is to integrate both Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) to develop a more robust and systematic method to accurately map the urban development changes over time and represents the associated land subsidence rate.
$50,000.00
May 13, 2016
The purpose of this project is to determine if the salt on Axel Heiberg Island (Nunavut) is still rising, and if so, at what rate. The main objective will be to use interferometric radar (InSAR) to quantify the vertical motion of the diapirs.
