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.

Voices of the Grain Trade Oral History: Preservation and Increased Access
2324-0023
Friends of Grain Elevators (FOGE) requests funding to ensure its Voices of the Grain Trade oral history collection is preserved and fully available to the public by spring 2024. The activities of this project include transcribing 144 audio files, creating archival documentation for all new and existing interview transcripts (metadata description, interview summaries, and keywords), and uploading audio files to FOGE’s website. For long-term preservation, FOGE will work with Lakehead University’s archives to store the collection, ensuring Voices will be discoverable and usable for future generations. The more than 200 narrators within the collection tell the story of how Thunder Bay once became the world’s largest grain port, as well as the modern changes that saw the industry’s decline.
