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.

Illaiqipik - Inuvialuit Game Council Traditional Knowledge Repository
2122-0172
The Illaiqpik Project will be directed by the Inuvialuit Game Council (IGC) and administered by the Inuvialuit Traditional and Local Knowledge Coordinator at the Joint Secretariat. IGC uses Inuvialuit traditional knowledge (in the form of oral histories, audio interviews, transcriptions, maps, and reports) for much of their decision making and currently there is little capacity to store and organize the existing information. The project’s aim is to collect and organize Inuvialuit owned traditional knowledge interviews and oral histories and build an in-house repository to provide access to the various Inuvialuit groups/co-management boards to use in decision making and to protect Inuvialuit cultural heritage while also providing opportunities for Inuvialuit-governed future research.
