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.

Project NODE: Nonlinear-Optical Deterministic Entanglement for Quantum Interconnects
1041061
Project NODE develops a new class of deterministic, room-temperature quantum-network components based on optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs). These devices, long used in classical fibre telecommunication systems and electronics, can generate, strengthen, entangle, and measure quantum light, offering a unified solution to the limitations of today’s probabilistic and often cryogenic quantum technologies. The project will build and test broadband OPAs at telecom wavelengths, explore how they operate from conventional “classical-pump’’ regimes to genuinely quantum regimes where the pump and light fields become correlated, and determine how these capabilities can be deployed in real quantum-network settings. Through coordinated work at NRC, University of Ottawa, and Polytechnique Montréal, the project will establish OPAs as practical building blocks for future quantum networks and identify the most promising near-term applications. By enabling deterministic, high-speed optical interconnects, Project NODE strengthens Canada’s leadership in quantum networking and supports the development of scalable quantum technologies.

Security Enhancement & Safety Measures
26134
The purpose of this Canada Community Security Agreement is to provide funding to this local Muslim community organization to enhance their security. The population that uses the facility will feel safer from hate-motivated incidents/crimes following the hiring of time-limited security personnel, armed intruder training, training on the use of newly-installed security equipment, and the purchase and installation of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system and an access control system in their community gathering space.

Arctic Water Solutions: Harnessing Native Northern Plants for Nature-Based Wastewater Treatment in Canada’s Arctic
POLAR-2526-0025
This project will develop and optimize low-cost, scalable, and climate-adapted biofilters for wastewater treatment in Canada’s Arctic, while protecting native plant species and enhancing ecosystem services. Through laboratory and field experiments, the project will strategically select native Arctic plants and optimize engineered biofilter media to identify system designs that effectively remove pathogens, nutrients, and other contaminants from wastewater, while supporting ecosystem services and long-term system resilience.
