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.

Sealing Ultra Low Dewpoint Air Handler Units
1008628
ESC is an OEM manufacturer of large commercial and industrial Air Handler Units (AHU's). These units are capable of producing extremely dry air which is required for Lithium Battery Manufacturing and similar laboratory processes. A major challenge to manufacturing these units is in ensuring that the AHU is sealed to maintain the low humidity level and not have infiltration through the wall system, doors or bulkheads. ESC needs to develop methods of sealing and testing Ultra Low Dewpoint (ULDP) AHU's to ensure the Clients critical environment requirements are maintained.

Employee achievement and recognition
1008870
Giftagram is looking to create a Rewards & Recognition platform as an extension of Giftagram’s GiftCenter that allows for managers and employees to recognize each other, distribute points, choose from a wide variety of physical/electronic gifts, and redeem gifts internationally. We believe this feature will help us expand our gifting solutions into the rewards and recognition space.
To build out an achievement platform, we need to scale our marketplace capabilities, expand our shipping logistics internationally and share & redeem points that will support rewards and recognition.

Advancements in Pre & Post Processes Supporting Commercial Scale Production
1009350
In this project, Burloak will perform R&D to advance the knowledge and techniques of pre and post processing aspects of metal additive manufactured components that are hindering the field’s ability to scale production for the commercialization of space and defence. Metal 3D printing is a manufacturing method that provides freedom in designing geometrically complex components and offers solutions to lower the manufacturing cost, facilitate small-production jobs and reduce material and energy waste. However, it’s imperative that alternative solutions be examined to reduce post machining of the delicate near net shape Additively Manufactured (AM) printed parts to unleash the true potential of AM.
