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.

Our Stories, Our History
LHOV-02-044
Our project aims to give our community the power of knowledge to protect our history and voices through the digitization of our historical materials. To achieve this, we will acquire digitization equipment, which will be housed at the community’s public library for accessibility. A digitization expert will be brought in to provide training to community members across various age groups, ensuring there is longevity of knowledge in digitizing. Special emphasis will be placed on training students and recognizing their commitment to learning this new practice. Their dedication and the knowledge they will acquire will be invaluable in helping us safeguard what might otherwise be lost forever.
