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.

Elsie as Seen by... Her Husband, Robert Wilson Reford
1920-0824
The project focusses on the photographic archive collection of Robert W. Reford. On the one hand, 8,200 new photographic documents (nitrate negatives, slides, glass plate photographs, etc.) will be digitized by IDnum Technologie. On the other hand, a multimedia experiment by Umanium will reveal the richness of Robert W. Reford's archive collection, particularly the portraits he made of his wife. The digitization of documents on old media will make it possible to integrate new portraits of Elsie Reford into the multimedia installation.

Engage Grants for colleges
11020192020Q14313
Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.

Implementing Web GIS for Ground Search and Rescue
20927
This project is about enhancing the use of GIS in search and rescue so as to improve final outcomes, improving interoperability between resources and among jurisdictions as well as streamlining record keeping and reporting. Currently, many GSAR teams are using freeware (e.g. OziExplorer, Avenza) that is not compatible with other jurisdictions and does not take advantage of many modern tools, such as mobile technologies. GSAR teams often do not have the technical knowledge, time, funds or skill to adapt these technologies to their situations. This project will build on the initial work that GSAR teams in Newfoundland have done to roll-out GIS for ground search and rescue. It aims to further the application of GIS through the use of web GIS tools and cellular technologies to improve search and rescue outcomes. This project will use ESRI Canada's ArcGIC platform, the MapSAR plug-in for ArcGIS, the integrated MapSAR functionality in D4H, and available web GIS apps and will be able to integrate with the Motorola radio system used by PEI GSAR.
