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.

Nepal Humanitarian Response – International Federation of Red Cross COVID-19 Appeal
7430547 P010655001
May 2021 – The COVID-19 situation in Nepal has evolved rapidly, following the pace of the pandemic in neighbouring India. The number of new cases reported each day has skyrocketed from under 100 in early March to a record of over 9,000 by mid-May 2021. Health facilities in Nepal are becoming overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients and in many cities, are turning patients away. Data from both the Red Cross and the Ministry of Health and Population indicate that health and WASH services are the greatest need, including access to essential supplies (oxygen, testing supplies, critical care medicines and supplies), temporary hospitals, and PPE. Hand washing stations in health care facilities is also a significant need.
With GAC’s support, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) working with the Canadian Red Cross will support the Nepal Red Cross Society in responding to urgent needs brought on by the most recent wave of the pandemic. Project activities include: (1) expanding and improving essential health services, including ambulance services for COVID-19 cases, blood transfusions, and installation of WASH hardware; (2) providing livelihood support for the most affected populations, particularly through cash and voucher modalities; and (3) implementing risk communication and hygiene promotion activities within the community.

FPS Lunar EVA Immersive Camera (LEIC)
20STDP014
Immersive 3D 360° technology will transform
the way the general public will experience
space exploration. It will make it possible
for people of all ages, anywhere on Earth to
come on board and experience space as if
they were there via a multitude of immersive
formats. The capture of high quality 3D 360°
images can also be used as source material
in support of teaching and scientific
research.
The purpose of the project is to increase
the maturity of immersive virtual reality
(VR) camera technology for Moon missions by
eliminating key risks related to bandwidth
and embedded processing. The main objective
of this project is to develop a VR platform
validated in laboratory that can support
high-quality productions while compatible
with moon mission architectures (CLPS,
Gateway, Orion, Artemis) and lunar
environment. This project constitutes a step
forward the creation of a lunar media
infrastructure in order to produce premium
content distributed across all media
ecosystem of the return of humankind on the
moon and of the future of space exploration.

Digitizing the Tlicho Audio and Video Archive
LHOV-02-023
The Tlicho Government has a vast archive of audio and video recordings dating back to the 1940s, which includes significant events in our recent history as a government, as well as culturally, historically and anthropologically important information dating back many decades. The Tlicho Government recognizes the importance of digitizing these recordings and hopes that this project will both protect the information and make it more easily searchable and accessible to Tlicho people and to researchers across the country who may be interested in the information or who may want to continue long-standing research.
