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.

Field validation of hydrokinetic power national assessment
958658
The Project is a field validation of the national assessment of hydrokinetic power, presently being developed by NRC to estimate hydrokinetic power potential in rivers throughout Canada and for Atlantic Canada. Hydrokinetic power production involves installation of low-head kinetic turbines directly in a river; by obviating the need for a dam, capital costs are reduced and the negative environmental consequences of river impoundment are eliminated. The national assessment will provide hydrokinetic power entrepreneurs a first-order estimate of the availability of power at a particular site, and thus will be an essential tool to encourage development of this sustainable resource. The national assessment involves desktop estimation of the velocity and depth for all of Canada’s rivers. In order to validate these estimates, ground truthing is necessary by conducting field surveys. The Project will provide field estimates of both reach averaged and local velocity
and depth across a range of discharges at candidate sites.
