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.

This project will increase the scientific-literacy of the school's students through their research, writing and production of both an initial hard cover book as well as a subsequent audio book based on the adventure of a manned mission to Mars. The high school students engaged in this project will not only increase their awareness of Canadian space science and technology but will also be involved in problem solving some of the challenges related to sending humans to Mars. In addition to the students developing the material with the support of faculty members from a variety of disciplines, the target audience for the books will ultimately be elementary school students. The project's expected reach is approximately 10,800 students in the Calgary area.
