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.

Integration of Archival Inuit Knowledge into the Kitikmeot Naonaiyaotit Traditional Knowledge Project
PKA-2122-0037
This work will complete the integration of Inuit Land Use and Occupancy Project (ILUOP) data into the Naonaiyaotit Traditional Knowledge Project (NTKP) GIS database, and make its information accessible to the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KitIA), Kitikmeot communities, and to all Inuit for land use planning and other decision-making tasks. NTKP centres will be established within and linked among all five communities, allowing shared decisions to be made on a unified base of Inuit Knowledge.

Manitoba Lunar and Planetary STEM Network (MLaPS)
21STEMG27
The project « Manitoba Lunar and Planetary
STEM Network (MLaPS) » is designed to expose
and train students (from kindergarten to
grade 12) in lunar science, exploration and
habitation using a variety of educational
materials and approaches. A major focus is
to use innovative hands-on activities in
these areas, such as designing lunar
sampling mechanisms, rover-based
explorations of lunar analogue sites and
assessing different materials for
constructing lunar habitats. This project
draws on expertise in conducting planetary
exploration missions, designing and building
technologies and platforms for future
Canadian lunar missions, and lunar science.

Engineering Science Quest (ESQ) Explores Space
21STEMG26
Participants will explore a range
of space-related topics, such as coding a
virtual space vehicle to pickup space
debris, using machine learning to
communicate with an alien in a new language,
and making a greenhouse to grow food in the
cold, harsh conditions of space. Youth will
learn about the connections between STEM and
space, opening their eyes to endless
possibilities that are “out of this world”.

Mars in Your Backyard
21STEMG22
The project “Mars in Your Own Backyard” is a
space-themed education program for youth in
grades 5-12 that provides fun, interactive,
and multi-sensory engagement activities to
transfer knowledge of the Canadian Arctic's
features that make it an effective planetary
analogue environment. Students will learn
curricular topics focused on space
environmental science by identifying, for
example, key features of rocks and minerals
that may be analogous to the Moon and Mars.
They will also learn about how to live in
space, with curriculum topics focused on
biology, arts, environmental science, such
as basic life support, food production and
radiation protection.

Behind the Scenes of Space
21STEMG30
The project « Behind the Scenes of Space »
purpose is to design a space-themed virtual
livestream field trip for young students
(from kindergarten to grade 12) specific to
Space Exploration. The main objectives are
to highlight Canadian contributions to space
exploration and innovation through engaging,
interactive virtual trips that visit
Canadian industries that are involved in
these contributions in various ways
(robotics, space exploration, science) and
to generate interest and encourage youth to
pursue studies and careers in space STEM
programs. Participation in our virtual field
trip will help encourage a new generation of
Canadians to develop the skills that will
allow them to be a part of Canada's space
legacy, expand their scientific literacy,
and contribute to the workforce of tomorrow.
A recorded version will be made public and
viewable to all Canadians.
