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.

Advancing and Scaling Up Biochar-Based Carbon-Negative Concrete Admixture from Pilot Validation to Commercial Demonstration Readiness

Agreement Number:

1041068

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Jun 30, 2027
Description:

The Firm has developed ΔC, a biochar-based carbon-negative concrete admixture made from sustainably sourced wood residues that reduces cement use and permanently stores biogenic carbon, lowering concrete’s carbon footprint by 20–30% without changing plant operations.

This project advances ΔC development and manufacturing from pilot validation to commercial readiness by: 1) optimizing production, 2) completing engineering and techno-economic analysis, 3) validating industrial performance, and 4) preparing inputs for Final Investment Decision (FID).

Foundations For Resilient American Oyster Hatchery Production and Nursery.

Agreement Number:

1041120

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Mar 29, 2027
Description:

This project aims to improve the operational efficiency of Acadian Hatchery while enhancing the quality and resilience of oyster spat produced for the Atlantic Canadian aquaculture industry. Through improvements in hatchery production systems, nutrition, nursery development, and data-driven monitoring, the project seeks to strengthen overall seed performance and support the development of oyster strains with increased resistance to the emerging parasites MSX and Dermo. By increasing the availability of high-quality hatchery seed, the project will contribute to the long-term sustainability and stability of oyster aquaculture in Atlantic Canada.

Pilot Demonstration of a Novel Low-Temperature Process for Sustainable SCM Manufacturing

Agreement Number:

1041239

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Dec 30, 2027
Description:

The construction sector faces urgent pressure to decarbonize concrete, one of the world’s largest sources of CO2 emissions. Low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can reduce Portland cement use by 30-40%, but limited supply and regional availability remain key barriers. EnviCore has developed a proprietary low-temperature mineral transformation process that converts abundant industrial residues and minerals into high-performance SCMs.
