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.

Agreement:

Enhancing Woody Plant Encroachment Detection in Grasslands Using Multi-Source Earth Observation Data and Modern Data Processing Technologies Benefiting Canadian Environment and Economy

Agreement Number:

24AO3SAS24

Duration: from Mar 5, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This project aims to address the rapid disappearance of grasslands, particularly due to woody plant encroachment (WPE), which has become the second most significant cause of grassland loss after land conversion to cropping. By leveraging advanced technology and diverse satellite imagery, the project seeks to develop methods to accurately estimate woody plant cover, detect WPE at an early stage, investigate driving factors, identify vulnerable regions, and assess the economic and environmental benefits of WPE detection on Canadian grasslands, ultimately providing a comprehensive understanding and methodologies for WPE detection and its impacts.

Accurate forest carbon quantification from SEO to drive nature-based climate solutions

Agreement Number:

24AO3YOR35

Duration: from Mar 5, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This project aims to leverage satellite Earth Observation data to advance forest carbon quantification, addressing the urgent need for accurate information on carbon sequestration and fostering expertise in climate change mitigation. By improving understanding of carbon dynamics, developing AI methods for carbon estimation, and assessing forest management impacts, the project aims to elevate the application readiness level of developed methods and contribute to informed decision-making, benefiting both the environment and Canadian communities while raising awareness of EO and climate science through outreach activities.
