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.

Regional SPCA St. John’s Community Engagement Centre
This project involves the construction of a new community centre designed to provide inclusive, multi‑use space for public and community activities. The facility will support a wide range of programs, volunteer activities, and community group use through flexible gathering, training, and meeting spaces. Designed with inclusion as a core principle, the project will improve access to community services and provide welcoming space for underserved populations, strengthening community connections and social well‑being.

Security Systems Update
25934
The purpose of this Canada Community Security Program Agreement is to provide funding to this local Muslim community organization to enhance their security. The population that uses the facility will feel safer from hate-motivated incidents/crimes following the purchase and installation of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system, window film and a security system in their community gathering space.

Eganville Community Arena GHG Reduction and Energy Efficiency Upgrades
This project will upgrade the Eganville Arena to improve energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Building system improvements will reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing overall facility performance. These upgrades will support the arena’s continued role as a community hub and improve the long‑term sustainability of public recreational infrastructure.

Interstellar PAHs: separating the neutrals from the ions
25JWGO4A05
This project will use JWST/MIRI and NIRSpec to capture the first-ever spectrum of purely neutral PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in space by observing nebulae surrounding cool stars that produce no ionizing radiation. This provides the missing piece to separate neutral from charged PAHs in all cosmic environments.

Probing the chemical evolution of the carriers of the Aromatic Infrared Band emission
25JWGO4A10
This project will use JWST/MIRI and NIRSpec to investigate mysterious infrared signals called Aromatic Infrared Bands by observing a dying star (NGC6644) and studying how their molecular structure evolves when exposed to ultraviolet light. By understanding this molecular evolution around dying stars, we can predict their behaviour in planet-forming disks, advancing our knowledge of how life’s organic building blocks are processed during star and planet formation.
