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.

Community-scale Retrofit Scenario Analysis
1034838
Canada aims to reduce building-related greenhouse gas emissions by 40 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. As buildings account for 12% of national emissions mainly from space and water heating retrofitting existing stock is essential. This Project, led by NRC and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), supports the development of standardized methods and tools for community-scale retrofit scenario analysis. TMU will enhance building archetypes with detailed data to simulate retrofits in Toronto (ASHRAE CZ5) and Montreal (ASHRAE CZ6), contributing a tool to assess retrofit potential across varying grid carbon intensities. These efforts , NB (CZ7) and Northern communities like Paulatuk, NWT (CZ8), where prototype models are being developed using aggregate datasets. Together, the Project aims to identify effective retrofit pathways tailored to diverse regional contexts, enabling communities -based decisionShediac and Paulatuk use cases.
