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.

Williams Lake First Nation: Record, Digitize, and Share Traditional Knowledge and Language
2122-0080
Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) is in the process of cataloging and digitizing Traditional Knowledge from Elders within the community. Interviews conducted with Elders gather both Traditional Knowledge and Secwepemc language so that the cultural heritage can be digitized, stored and transferred to future generations. One of the long-term priorities of WLFN is to expand the Little Chiefs Primary School, currently grades kindergarten-grade 4 to K-12 and use the Traditional Knowledge and language gathered from Elders to inform a language immersion curriculum, ultimately maintaining the Secwepemc culture and language for future generations of the WLFN community.
