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.

Nawajonan kidji waseyasigen: Choose to shine
SO220060
This 42-month project will enable the Regroupement des centres d’amitié autochtones du Québec (RCAAQ) to strengthen its capacity, along with that of its 10 affiliated Native Friendship Centres, to prevent and fight gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people. Measures to achieve this will include having affiliated Centres document best practices in preventing and reducing GBV and proposing recommendations, designing and delivering appropriate training to workers and managers, and creating tools for the RCAAQ and the Centres to document, reflect upon and develop relevant approaches and services.
By the end of the project, the RCAAQ will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and fight gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people.

Digitizing Material from Inuvialuit Oral History Projects
LHOV-03-001
Between 1990 and 2000, the Inuvialuit Social Development Program conducted three major oral history projects about Inuvialuit use and traditional knowledge of the Yukon North Slope (including Herschel Island), and Banks Island in the Northwest Territories. Elders were transported back by boat and helicopter to their former camps to be interviewed. The projects resulted in 223 audio recordings, which were transcribed in Inuvialuktun and translated into English—an essential effort since few Inuvialuit were fluent in Inuvialuktun. While half of those recordings are accessible on the Inuvialuit Digital Library website, the other half are missing, along with the video Ikaahuk (produced in Inuvialuktun with English subtitles).
The Inuvialuktun transcriptions, English translations of all tapes, and indexes of the English translations are not available on the website due to problems converting files from the 1994 Word program. Once their layout is finalized and the missing Inuvialuktun letters are added to each page, the documents will be converted into PDF format. These digitized versions will then be uploaded to the Inuvialuit Digital Library website. The same will be done with the digitized tapes and video so that all the material from the 1990s Inuvialuit oral history projects is available online.
