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.

Exploit No More: Improving wellbeing in Survivors of human
trafficking
HT20277
This 37-month project with Angels of Hope Against Human Trafficking will develop and implement promising intervention practices that will entail trauma-informed mental health and harm-reduction focused addictions counselling and implementation of peer support programs to advance knowledge and enhance long-term, bilingual empowerment supports for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Northeastern Ontario. Specifically, the project will center the lived experiences of survivors, including Indigenous women and girls, and specific challenges, including intergenerational trauma, racism, colonization and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
This will be achieved by providing trauma-informed mental health and harm-reduction focused addictions counselling to address trauma, developing coping skills, and building individualized care plans; implementing peer support programs for survivors to share their experiences rebuilding their lives, regaining independence and restoring relationships with family and community; and conducting an external evaluation of the pilot project while documenting the impact of the services provided on survivors of human trafficking.
At the end of the project, the organization will have:
1. Helped restore relationships between survivors and their families and communities to inspire healing through peer support programs for survivors and loved ones;
2. Improved wellbeing for survivors facing mental health and addictions challenges through peer support programs as well as ongoing trauma-informed, harm-reduction focused addictions and mental health/trauma counselling;
3.
