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.

BC Fast Pilot Project - Bathymetric Survey of Okanagan Lake using Solar Powered Autonomous Boat

Agreement Number:

936898

Duration: from Nov 4, 2019 to Mar 31, 2020
Description:

This project will entail the production of two solar powered autonomous boats, Data Xplorer, equipped with equipment to conduct a bathymetric survey meeting the standards of the International Hydrographic Organization. The vessels will conduct an autonomous survey of Okanagan Lake to create bathymetric survey charts for boaters to safely use the lake and provide the Canadian Coast Guard with key information for placement of navigational aids. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of using a zero-emission autonomous vessel for work that is typically done using a crewed boat, which has advantageous of no GHG emissions, increased safety for crew, reduced cost and faster results.

Development of an Optimized Ground Penetrating Radar with Advanced Beamforming Capabilities for Northern Pre-Route Commercial Land Surveys, Mine Detection, and Unexploded Ordnance Detection

Agreement Number:

937130

Duration: from Nov 4, 2019 to Feb 26, 2021
Description:

The goal of the project is to develop a novel Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) architecture that will provide unprecedented imaging quality of buried targets, such as landmines, unexploded ordnance, and to de-risk the determination of potential routes for the burial of fiber-optical communication lines in the complex soils of Northern regions. The primary focus of this project is the development of distinct new software modules for the Acoustic Zoom Inc's ZoomSpace processing suite that enables unprecedented focusing and interference filtering, while delivering enhanced GPR imaging and augmented detection capability.

Applying Deep Learning to Gait Analysis via Monocular Video: Predicting Gait Metrics from Labeled Images

Agreement Number:

937281

Duration: from Nov 4, 2019 to Sep 30, 2020
Description:

Curv Labs aims to dramatically increase the affordability and accessibility of specific musculoskeletal diagnostics by enabling any camera (e.g., from a mobile device) to conduct motion capture assessments. The core technology is a machine learning model that accurately pin-points anatomical locations. This project is focused specifically on running movements (i.e. gait), and has two objectives: (1) developing the specialized machine learning model for gait analysis, including pronation, and (2) testing the model’s accuracy against ground-truth gait analysis metrics collected from trained experts using manual video analysis. The results of this project will affect how health professionals assess gait in the future.

Raw Material Utilization / Waste Reduction in the Manufacture of Wooden BBQ Scrapers

Agreement Number:

937303

Duration: from Nov 4, 2019 to Feb 28, 2020
Description:

Juniper BBQ Scraper Ltd manufactures wooden BBQ scrapers from kiln dried juniper boards they purchase from a regional supplier. The firm's current manufacturing process requires that it first cut the wood into 4" wide strips and then cut to length, followed by shaping the product. This results in some wasted material that the firm would prefer to recapture. The objective of this project is to modify the current process to achieve a balance of material utilization and production efficiency,
