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.

Implementing Web GIS for Ground Search and Rescue

Agreement Number:

20927

Duration: from Apr 3, 2019 to Mar 31, 2021
Description:

This project is about enhancing the use of GIS in search and rescue so as to improve final outcomes, improving interoperability between resources and among jurisdictions as well as streamlining record keeping and reporting. Currently, many GSAR teams are using freeware (e.g. OziExplorer, Avenza) that is not compatible with other jurisdictions and does not take advantage of many modern tools, such as mobile technologies. GSAR teams often do not have the technical knowledge, time, funds or skill to adapt these technologies to their situations. This project will build on the initial work that GSAR teams in Newfoundland have done to roll-out GIS for ground search and rescue. It aims to further the application of GIS through the use of web GIS tools and cellular technologies to improve search and rescue outcomes. This project will use ESRI Canada's ArcGIC platform, the MapSAR plug-in for ArcGIS, the integrated MapSAR functionality in D4H, and available web GIS apps and will be able to integrate with the Motorola radio system used by PEI GSAR.
