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.

AI-Enabled Vision and Lighting System for Autonomous Explosion-Proof Robotic Cleaning
1034303
This project marks the next phase of ACS’s R&D, advancing toward AI-enabled industrial automation. ACS is developing an integrated vision and lighting system for use in autonomous, explosion-proof robotic cleaning tools. Combining high-intensity, hazardous-rated lighting with computer vision, the system will enable real-time coverage tracking, obstacle detection, and environment mapping. Designed for Class I, Div 1 zones, this innovation will lay the foundation for intelligent decision-making in zero-entry tank and vessel cleaning.
