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.

Analysis to Action on Gender Based Violence
ON18616
This 46-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow Northwestern Ontario Women's Centre to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through partnerships with local women's advocates in the development of a collaborative advocacy strategy on gender-based violence that is informed by anti-racism, anti-oppression, trauma-informed and gender-based analysis frameworks. This advocacy strategy includes connecting with existing broader campaigns and efforts, the creation of an online platform and communication network, the analysis and publication of legal system outcomes through this network, and the establishment of an annual "Think Tank" for local women's advocates.

Satellite systems and equipment are designed to work in harsh space environments and extreme launch conditions.
This project will build and test advanced composite materials for lightweight, low-cost space antenna parts. Using an existing type of antenna reflector, this project will improve performance, ensure space-readiness, and solve two key design issues.

However, current rover technology is expensive and requires continuous management by operators back on Earth. Using rovers will be more cost-effective if they are able to perform more tasks on their own with more flexible options for the operators that manage them.
This project will develop easy-to-use mission control software to support ongoing, low-cost rover operations and allow rovers to navigate and carry out tasks more independently. The software will be cloud-based to allow commercial space companies, mission operators, and researchers operate frequent, short-duration lunar missions from anywhere on Earth. This project will help to lower the cost of lunar rover missions, making space exploration more accessible a to wider range of Canadian companies. It will eventually allow non-experts, including students and members of the Canadian public, to engage lunar missions more easily.
