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.

Assessing the Potential of the SWOT Mission for the Retrieval of Freshwater Lake Ice and Overlying Snow Properties
23SUESLAKE
Freshwater ice thickness and snow water equivalent provide a proxy for monitoring climate, however both are difficult to derive from conventional satellite observations. This project utilizes data from the Surface Water Ocean Topography Mission during the Fast Sampling (daily) and Science Data Collection (11 day repeat) phases to retrieve ice thickness and SWE for Kluane (Yukon) and Teshekpuk (Alaska) Lakes. Two sensors are utilized: 1) Ku-band altimeter, which has been shown to retrieve ice thickness from waveforms, and 2) Ka-band interferometric syntheric aperture radar that has demonstrated capability for snow retrievals, but has not been tested for snow on ice.

Disentangling internal waves and sub--mesoscale motions in satellite altimetry Northeast Pacific
23SUESALTI
This project will use a comprehensive data set collected on at scales relevant to SWOT and Sentinel missions to understand ocean mixing and coastal currents in the Northeast Pacific. There is considerable variability in the region that is poorly resolved in older generation altimetry products, and most in situ observations. The reserachers will use high resolution shipboard surveys, underwater glider surveys, mooring measurements, and targeted float releases to groundtruth and enhance the data returned from the new generation of altimeters. The results will be used to test and improve operational and research ocean simulations, with applications to fish stocks and weather prediction.

Examining Genetic Diversity and Spatial Genetic Structure to Inform Conservation Breeding of Caribou
GC-2410
This contribution supports furthering knowledge of caribou genomics to inform woodland caribou recovery and the conservation breeding initiative in Jasper National Park. The project will use new techniques and additional biological samples to build on previous caribou genetics work to ensure that genetic diversity and inbreeding are key considerations in the steps taken to augment caribou through conservation breeding.

Agreement for Grade Crossing Closure
164950
The program supports projects that improve rail safety contribute to increasing safety at grade crossings and along rail lines address climate change resilience through the rehabilitation mitigation and/or prevention of the impacts of climate change/extreme weather along rail lines and rail property and increase public confidence in Canada's rail transportation system.
