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.

Fine Resolution Classification of Sea Ice Based on Feature Selection from
RADARSAT Constellation Mission - Research Opportunities in Satellite Earth Observation
24AO3DAL03
The project aims to develop machine learning-based methods for automatic estimation of Arctic ice concentration, classification of sea ice types, and monitoring of pack ice leads in the Arctic Ocean, focusing on regions like the Beaufort Sea and Canadian Arctic waters. By utilizing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from satellites such as RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) and RADARSAT-2, along with future NISAR observations, the project aims to provide the Canadian Ice Service (CIS) with improved operational ice charts, enhancing marine nowcasts and forecasts in the Canadian Arctic without manual intervention.
