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.

Operational snow simulations for avalanche forecasting in Canada: implementation of the SNOWPACK model into the Avalanche Forecasting System
The PSIMS agreement number: 19825
The University de Sherbrooke project aims to provide tools that decrease the uncertainty (and associated increased risk) related to remote call outs and increased melt freeze crusts and rain on snow events. Increasing the toolkit for avalanche risk assessment in light of these factors benefits all Canadians in avalanche affected areas, especially SAR responders who are called out under urgent conditions.

Central African Republic - Emergency Assistance - Solidarités International 2018
7389599 P006104001
February 2018 – Following a coup d’état in March 2013, the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) rapidly deteriorated. In 2017, the country continued to be plagued by violent conflict between armed groups and inter-communal violence. The number of displaced people in the country has increased to over 1.24 million, comprised of roughly 688,000 internally displaced people and 556,375 refugees – the highest number ever recorded in CAR. In 2018, an estimated 2.5 million people in CAR will require humanitarian assistance.
With GAC’s support, Solidarités International is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 10,100 conflict-affected people in Ouham and Nana-Gribizi prefectures, in the CAR. This project focuses on increasing access to safe water and sanitation facilities, as well as livelihoods support for conflict affected populations. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 14 water points, benefitting up to 7,000 people; (2) raising awareness on hygiene practices of up to 7,000 people; (3) providing up to 120 vulnerable women with livelihood kits, benefitting up to 600 people; and (4) distributing food vouchers to 400 vulnerable households, benefitting up to 2,000 people.
