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.

Sustaining and Enhancing SARVAC’s Capacity for National Humanitarian Responses (Phase 3)
This 3 year project is to build on the work previously accomplished within the last two funding cycles (2021-22 & 2022-23). The initial funding cycle for 2021-22 established the foundation in the form of an enhanced governance construct for SARVAC, as well as the development of a National SAR Operations Concept (NSOC). This project proposes to continue to enhance SARVAC’s capabilities, with a focus on evolving capacity to provide rapid emergency management response with a particular emphasis on building capacity to respond to both large-scale events as well as sustainable responses in small remote and marginalized communities.

Continued Enhancements to Build Capacity for
All-Hazards Emergency Response in Canada
This 3-year project intends to finalize development and implementation of the Emergency Response Units (ERUs), which is a continuation from the previous two cycles of funding (2021-22 and 2022-23), enabling St. John Ambulance (SJA) to maintain critical capabilities for all-hazards response across Canada. The ERUs in Canada respond to municipal, provincial/territorial, and federal requests for assistance during natural disasters and human emergencies. Currently, St. John Ambulance is nationalizing its existing workforce and building a larger program to contribute to the health of all people, including the creation of safe spaces and increased cultural competencies toward working with vulnerable communities such as, but not limited to, Indigenous communities.
