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.

Supporting Families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
13133107
The Ontario Native Women’s Association’s overall goal of this program is to support families and loved ones of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG). The program will continue to honour the memory of MMIWG through ceremony and other cultural activities, which is essential to family healing. The program will provide information, coordination, counselling and ceremonial supports to families of Indigenous women, girls and 2S people who have been murdered or gone missing. This program will leverage the expertise of Indigenous women, lessons learned through its existing work and mobilize it to drive forward the following objectives: provide MMIWG prevention education and training to service providers and communities; connect families to cultural support services in their communities; provide families and communities with the opportunity to honour their loved ones through ceremony; maintain an ongoing list that can be shared with communities of trauma-informed counseling and supports, including traditional ceremony services; and, provincial coordination and information sharing to multiple stakeholders.
