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.

The GRIP Safer Space
QC21346
This 32-month project will help prevent gender-based violence at festivals and support women who are survivors of it. To achieve this, GRIP (the Groupe de recherche et d’intervention psychosociale) Montreal plans to create and offer training tailored to the needs of professionals involved in festivals. It will also establish a psychosocial support zone that can be a safer space and refuge for vulnerable, distressed, and intoxicated people who have witnessed or experienced violence at these events.
Staffed by trained responders who are aware of the issues involved, this space will provide appropriate support to a range of vulnerable groups. Among them are women and girls, including those who are racialized, who live in rural or remote regions, or who have disabilities; immigrant women; LGBTQ2+ people; and people who identify with more than one minority or marginalized group.
During events, the organization also plans to create and distribute prevention resources on sexual violence, consent, being an active witness, and getting around safely from a perspective related to substance use at festivals.
