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.

Commercializing Salt Cavern Abandonment :Alberta Salt Cavern Database Project
908920
BGES is proposing to begin to populate a database of geomechanical properties of both salt formations and caprock formations for salt cavern projects for Alberta. In order to properly develop the required workflow and techniques to commercialize Salt Cavern Abandonments in Alberta (Canada). This portion of the projet will address the upfront needs of the project, Academic Study followed by a Laboratory Testing program to populate a database to be later used (outside the scope of this study) populate a geostatistical model and run simulations. The model and simulations will then be used to pilot an actual salt cavern abandonment and be calibrated as the abandonment progresses.

Development of Novel Insulation Process for Manufacturing High Voltage Coils
909183
Through this project, the Electric Motor Coil Company will develop the first-ever worldwide novel coil insulation/coating to merge hot press and VPI in one manufacturing process to insulate high voltage motor coils. This will be new business for EMCC, both processes as they stand cannot be merged, they will need to be further developed to be integrated into one continuous process. All of the equipment required will be designed and built in-house. This will drastically increase reliability from a few years to decades and ensure a long operating life of power generating station. The increase in reliability will be due to the new army corp electrical standard, and the existing IEEE standards.
