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.

Economic Security for Immigrant Women: Collectively addressing biases in hiring pratices
AB20454
This 30-month project will advance the economic security and prosperity of immigrant women by identifying and addressing discriminatory hiring practices, biases and other specific barriers that hinder racialized women’s employment opportunities and prevent them from fully and equally participating in Alberta’s employment economy.
Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women will convene a project advisory committee; work in partnership with the University of Calgary and the Alberta Men’s Network; and engage key partners and stakeholders, including immigrant women and human resources allies, to assess and address systemic change issues. Solutions that are informed by the lived experiences of racialized women will be identified and documented to contribute to a media campaign strategy. Best practices will be reviewed, and final recommendations for policy change initiatives to eliminate barriers, including a hiring model, will be advocated and shared via social media to move equitable hiring practices forward.
