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.

Ibex Development Project
994645
Our revolutionary, patent pending device, called the Ibex, helps people prevent and recover from falls. It is a rollator walker with an elevating seat that descends to floor level, raises to a height of 24” and stops anywhere in between. It helps people reach lower items, transfer on/off low surfaces, conserve energy by perching at counter height and the seat folds so people can stand or walk inside the frame. In the unfortunate event a fall happens, it can lift the fallen person from the floor independently or with minimal assistance. It provides people the confidence and independence to continue their activities of daily living and those that bring them joy.

RoBird Business Unit Manufacturing and Assembly Optimization
994784
AERIUM’s RoBird® ornithopter is a high-tech example of biomimicry which has been established as an important tool in the field of Wildlife Management at airports, mining facilities, and other sites where wild birds are susceptible to injury and death simply by being in the wrong place. The current state of RoBird® production is such that many processes are completed by hand in a time consuming and expensive process. The goal of this project is to acquire both expertise and design services that will allow AERIUM to scale and automate production processes, growing RoBird® manufacturing from approximately 20 units per year to more than 60 units per year by the end of the project date, and to hundreds of units per year in 2024.
