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.

The project « Behind the Scenes of Space »
purpose is to design a space-themed virtual
livestream field trip for young students
(from kindergarten to grade 12) specific to
Space Exploration. The main objectives are
to highlight Canadian contributions to space
exploration and innovation through engaging,
interactive virtual trips that visit
Canadian industries that are involved in
these contributions in various ways
(robotics, space exploration, science) and
to generate interest and encourage youth to
pursue studies and careers in space STEM
programs. Participation in our virtual field
trip will help encourage a new generation of
Canadians to develop the skills that will
allow them to be a part of Canada's space
legacy, expand their scientific literacy,
and contribute to the workforce of tomorrow.
A recorded version will be made public and
viewable to all Canadians.
