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.

Super-charging Euclid's Deep Field North
24EXPROSS4
The project will combine U-band imaging from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) with Euclid, Subaru, and Spitzer data in the Euclid Deep Field North to produce photometric catalogs of millions of galaxies over an unprecedented combination of area (10 sq deg) and depth (27 mag). The U-band data we will add to this dataset is key for accurate photometric redshifts and measuring rates of star formation in galaxies.

Galaxy Building Blocks at High Redshift
24JWGO3A10
To test this scenario, this project uses JWST’s Integral Field Spectrograph to observationally and in detail examine an archetypical example of such a merging system that we discovered just one billion years after the Big Bang.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic - Increasing sustainability and inclusivity in the new Ronald McDonald House
RMHC® Atlantic is constructing a new Ronald McDonald House in the Maritimes, situated at 5940 South Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The facility will be located directly across the street from the IWK Health Centre which is the only children’s hospital in the Maritimes, and the largest facility in Atlantic Canada caring for patients under 21 years of age. This expansion aims to double the number of families served annually from 600 to 1,200, while also broadening the range of support programs available during their stay. The initiative prioritizes increased support for equity-deserving groups, including low-income families, as well as Indigenous, First Nations, racially visible, and immigrant
families. Funding from Canada will facilitate the project's transition to net zero carbon, enhancing sustainability and aligning with environmental objectives. Moreover, the funding enables the integration of additional accessible features, catering to the diverse needs of the population served by RMHC® Atlantic.

Cosmological measurements from the Euclid and Roman Space telescopes
24EXPROSS5
Recent progress in the field of cosmology has been spectacular but has thrown up some big questions: we don't know what the dominant constituents of the Universe – dark matter and dark energy - are, or even why they are present. 2025-2028 will be an extremely important period for cosmology with surveys using the ESA-led Euclid satellite mission, and the NASA-led Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope spearheading experimental advances.

Building Envelope Energy Saving & De-carbonization Plan
1029588
Our clients can zero in on specific faults in the building envelope to make data-driven retrofit decisions and capital plans. We calculate: i) energy losses and GHG emissions associated with building envelope elements (walls, windows, doors, etc.), ii) remediation/upgrade costs, and iii) projected ROIs of retrofit projects.
