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.

Gender Equality Systemic Change Project Kamloops
BC21409
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society will achieve this by building a roundtable of community partners, creating a GBA+ informed report on local systemic barriers for gender equality and needs in the women serving sector, addressing needs through community collaboration, enhancing community-based research, and delivering an awareness campaign.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, advancing inclusive policies and practices, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
The project will create a developmental evaluation framework to measure success, and a workshop curriculum that will be launched through an awareness campaign to contribute to systemic change. Key partners Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and Kamloops Y Women’s Emergency Shelter will provide project leadership through the roundtable, which will reflect a full feminist intersectional range of organizations from the community, including immigrant serving, disability support services, LGBTQ2A+, and First Nations.
