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.

Anti-Human Trafficking Education & Supports in Rural and Northern Alberta
HT20275
This 48-month project with Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta Association will develop and implement promising intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in rural and northern Alberta.
This will be achieved by working with identified organizations to expand education and training on human trafficking; building community capacity by engaging and supporting rural and northern Alberta’s community members to deliver training resources and workshop materials, providing awareness and education on human trafficking; and collecting reports of human trafficking for a comprehensive and coordinated response for service providers and partners during the awareness and training activities.
At the end of the project, the organization will have collected data, engaged with law enforcement, health care providers, frontline service providers, Indigenous-serving organizations and the community to provide them with awareness and education on human trafficking so that survivors can be appropriately identified and access supports and services in a more streamlined way, to prevent survivors of human trafficking from falling between the cracks.
The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.
Supplemental funding will be used to translate documents on addressing human trafficking, continue developing partnerships, train staff, and strengthen engagement with the Indigenous community.

Protecting our Sacred Fires: Human trafficking prevention for Indigenous Youth
HT20276
This 36-month project with the Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association will develop and implement an Indigenous youth led, culturally relevant prevention training and education program that will advance knowledge, awareness and empower at-risk Indigenous youth and Indigenous survivors of human trafficking in Alberta.
This will be achieved by assessing gaps in knowledge concerning human trafficking and developing a culturally relevant workshop curriculum; training and empowering Indigenous youth to become facilitators and community advocates of human trafficking prevention; and virtual workshops and engagement with Indigenous youth delivered by peers.
At the end of the project, the organization will honour the workshop participants with a completion ceremony and encourage Indigenous youth to be agents of change to shift the course of human trafficking in Alberta. They will develop social media public service announcements based on what the workshop participants learned and the community impact, to be shared beyond the project and increase awareness for Indigenous peoples.
The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.
