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.

Michipicoten First Nation White Sands Creek Rehabilitation Project
The project will rehabilitate and increase the resiliency of an approximately 200m long section of Whitesands creek by replacing 2 damaged culverts of approximately 30 m in length to withstand a major water event, increase water quality to the community and allow for fish passage.
The project will stabilize the stream banks by adding gabions and a variety of plants based on root structure and bank stabilization strength; wildlife habitat and food source quality; contribution to canopy cover and cultural significance.

Earth Observation for detecting and monitoring long-term water quality changes across the Canadian Arctic
These changes have effects that include impacts on nutrient cycling, oxygen depletion and fish populations. While these changes have been documented for many lakes across the Arctic, we have no information on their geographical extent and how to best map and monitor the situation.
