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.

Earth Observation for detecting and monitoring long-term water quality changes across the Canadian Arctic
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.
The research project focusses on how to use field observations and Earth Observation satellite data to augment insight into the spatial and temporal scope of these changes.

Academia
Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) inspection of critical infrastructures and superstructures using coordinated multiple unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)
979735
In addition, the Project will develop an AI-enabled computer vision and photogrammetry system to enable the development of high-precision inspection, mapping and automatic condition assessments. The Project will also develop the software tools required for defect/anomaly detection as a result of conducting scans of infrastructure /superstructure targets.

Development of national method for wildfire hazard and exposure assessment
982128
The project will:
(1) review and document emerging methods for enhanced mapping of
fine-resolution fuel attributes (i.e., remote sensing, LiDAR, UAVs, ML) and assess costs and benefits of these data compared with traditional fuel data sources such as forest inventory data;
(2) assess the alignment of high-resolution fuel-based metrics with observed burned areas using empirical modeling methods in order to validate these fuel-based metrics; and
(3) explore compatibility and integration of validated high-resolution fuelbased
metrics with other fire controls (e.g., weather, ignition patterns) commonly used in existing fire hazard and exposure assessment
frameworks.
