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.

50 Years of Western Front: Transfer, Access and Preservation of Performance Art Archives
2021-0080
The organization will digitize, preserve and provide access to Western Front’s collection of 1,353 Betamax, 3/4-inch U-matic, 1/2-inch open reel, VHS and Mini DV videotapes that document unique performance art and new music concerts presented at Western Front from 1973 to the 2000s.
The project commemorates Western Front’s 50th year and will increase awareness of its contribution to Canadian art history and the artist-run centre movement. Currently, the archive is largely inaccessible due to storage concerns and at-risk media formats. Western Front will make the digitized material accessible on its website, enabling increased discoverability of the collection by scholars, curators, artists, writers and the public.
