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.

Species at Risk Conservation in the Mauricie Region
GC-1397
This contribution supports species at risk conservation activities by the St-Lawrence Valley Natural History Society. More specifically, this project aims to support them in the maintenance of critical habitats that are important for the conservation and the recovery of those species in the Mauricie region.

Two Eyes on Lake Whitefish
GC-1354
This contribution supports telemetry research into Lake Whitefish habit to identify priority areas for conservation within Fathom Five National Marine Park and broad actions with Lake Huron. The project applies the principle of “two-eyed seeing” to integrate Indigenous knowledge with quantitative analysis of fisheries data to generate an integrative understanding of recent declines in its population and foster a collaborative approach to support effective fisheries management of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation’s traditional territory and other fishery activities in Lake Huron.

Promoting tranquil and resilient living environments for an aging population
944743
The first step of this project focuses on comfortable living acoustical environmentsfor increasing elderly populations. Acoustic problems in residentil homes is caused by structural sounds,outdoor noises and equipment in homes. THis team has the expertise to study floor impact sound.
The current floor impact sound insulation rating scheme in Japan (grading curve method) is known as single frequency band dominative. Also, the correlation between the concrete and wooden buildings has not yet been studied. Hence, further study on the test and rating protocols of the floor impact sound is necessary. As a first step, the project focuses elderly persons. In addition, the project use the Virtual Reality (VR) microphone using Ambisonics technology to overcome the difficulty on the measurement of the sound pressure levels in the room with multi-modal effect on annoyance .
Human Informatics Research Institute (HIRI) of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and the Building Research Institute (BRI) will collaborate to perform subjective studies to correlate annoyance from impact noise in wooden houses with the existing and proposed metrics. Floor impact measurements will be conducted at BRI with test facilities such as the test house at BRI with support from AIST.
HIRI will perform listening tests with various impact noises at BRI. Older generation participants will be recruited for the listening tests. The results of the listening tests are expected to reveal acoustic properties related to annoyance in the noises and create an evaluation framework of sound quality of residential houses.
