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.

The Proponent will assemble First Nations wildland fire knowledge in Northern Saskatchewan. This initiative will increase community capacity to prepare for and respond to extreme wildfire events and improve services provided by wildfire management and emergency response.

Fire Weather Index Technology Upgrade
FIRENFC-27
The objective of this Project is to address a gap in the technology currently used in the management and reporting of Wildfire weather in the Maritime provinces. New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia require improvements to enhance their weather reporting capabilities. The new system will enhance the quality of weather data, produce several tabular reports, maps, and implement GIS capabilities to inform the public and other agencies of current and forecast fire hazard, for days at a time. This technology will better increase the ability of agencies to better manage the risk associated with wildfires and other natural hazards.
