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.

FabStation: Dynamic Dimensioning, Callibration and Rendering Improvements
948183
This project's purpose is to improve the hologram location and persistence accuracy of our existing system to with a 3mm tolerance to facilitate the use of our product as a lay-out tool for fabrication.. In addition, we would like to improve the rendering capabilities of our app to be able to occlude information not relevant to the user based on orientation of the user to the object. Finally, we plan to implement an automated dimensioning system that would display relevant dimensional information to the user without the need for additional inputs from office staff. This would coincide with work to create a dynamic dimensioning system that would allow Fabricators to choose custom points to receive dimensional information from.
