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.

Creating Community Access to Lobo Township Book Committee Fonds
1920-0925
The Lobo Township Book Committee created a collection to record this area's history and transferred these records to the Middlesex Centre Archives. The images represent many aspects of native and early settlement up to 1990, and show various dimensions of the primarily rural community – including education, religion, industry, agriculture, military, organizations, transportation, recreation and the histories of many families still in the area. The organization plans to arrange and describe the records; provide preventative conservation for the collection's 2 000 images and photographs; and create descriptions for the other records. This involves transferring negatives and images to appropriate storage containers, creating a finding aid, and uploading the information to Archeion. Once properly stored, the organization will make the images available to the public.

Digitizing and Providing Online Access to Testimonies of Canadian Immigrant and Ethnic Experiences
1920-0955
The Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO) will digitize 1,054 oral history interviews recorded on 1,625 audiocassette tapes in the 1970s and 1980 and label these files using a pre-determined, standardized, naming convention. It will upload the digital files to systems/servers built for the Society’s digital archive. The interviews are part of a nationally significant collection that is valued by researchers and represents Canadian immigrant and ethnic experiences. This project will preserve unique and non-renewable heritage resources that are currently at risk of deterioration and will improve access to these primary source materials for academics, teachers, students, community historians, heritage professionals, ethnocultural organizations, and the public.
