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.

Lost in Translation: Knowledge Translation & Mobilization for Building Occupants and Operators
1034255
The Project’s focus is on engaging the behaviours and interactions of occupants and operators regarding retrofits and aims to develop evidence?based approaches to their education, retrofit selection, and maintenance frameworks that yield better long-term building performance. The Project will explore best practices in communication and education both within and beyond the building industry. Various strategies will be tested with both occupant and operator groups to determine the efficacy and persistence of
the key messages. There are two main parts to this Project: • Occupant-Centered Study Main tasks include a literature review, development of prototype knowledge translation and mobilization materials, testing, outline of best practices. • Facility Management/Building Operators-Centered Study Main tasks include a literature review of best practices for training, focus group study, system selection study, operator engagement survey, and development of a framework for operators to maintain long lasting effectiveness of retrofits.
