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.

Durable Low-Carbon Sidewalk Concrete: Integrating CO₂-Sequestered SCMs and Graphene for Net-Zero Infrastructure
1040666
The Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials (CIRAMM) at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology is collaborating with the City of Calgary (City) to develop durable, low-carbon sidewalk concrete suited to Alberta’s climate. Leading a consortium of partners, over three years CIRAMM aims to help the City reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with cement production while reducing premature infrastructure deterioration to lower annual maintenance costs. Working with the support of a NRC collaborator and industry partners Carbon Upcycling Technologies and Innova Cleantech, CIRAMM seeks to integrate CO₂-treated supplementary cementitious materials and graphene nanomaterials to produce and pilot-test optimized low-carbon sidewalk concrete mixes. The Project’s goal is to deliver a validated mix design achieving up to 30–50% embodied-carbon reduction, enhanced freeze–thaw durability, and a full-scale Calgary sidewalk pilot at Technology Readiness Level 8, providing data to guide municipal specification updates and national standards integration.
