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.

Youth Green - Reducing waste in construction, accurate documentation of old heritage buildings
920319
As much as 40 percent of the total waste comes from construction projects, which produce a surplus of unused building material.Renovations of old heritage building without accurate documentation often result in huge waste in construction.
Reducing waste is a big factor in increasing suitability in the construction sector. Documenting the existing building accurately will ensure architects and contractors to simulate, plan and test the construction digitally before start the construction , hence reducing the guessing and wasteful decision. PARTISANS currently is engaged in renovating number of old heritage buildings in Toronto. We have decided to use 3d laser measurement over the traditional ways, to ensure we would capture all the data

Digitizing and optimizing client's video and audio assets
920720
Aux Mode needs to hire a Digital Asset Coordinator to help with the amount of video/audio assets that each new client is bringing to the company. The Digital Asset Coordinator (DAC) will work alongside our Technology and Content Management team to assure that our clients’ deliverables are met.
This project entails digitization of video/audio assets, editing video compilations, and distribution of content to several video platforms including YouTube/Amazon/Facebook. This project requires ingestion and tagging of every digital content, including: video, image, and document files so that our assets are properly optimized to work with our proprietary software tool.

Development of automated treatment planning software for permanent breast seed implant brachytherapy
920797
The project aims to further develop and integrate Okolo Health's breast brachytherapy software with MIM Software's basic treatment planning platform. This primary aim of producing a more advanced market-ready integrated software for breast cancer treatment using brachytherapy that requires accurate and precise placement of radioactive treatment pellets in the surgical cavity to target and kill tumor cells that may have been left behind or have migrated outside the surgical margin if tissue removed.

Spatiotemporal Computer Recognition Based on Multimodal Imaging
921943
We are seeking to develop a flow-based computer vision algorithm to support our ‘electronic guide dog’. This algorithm will allow our system to not only recognize objects, but determine the rate of speed at which objects are approaching, and further determine what kind of obstacle is upcoming. For example, without flow, computer vision systems will recognize an escalator as stairs, and a moving walkway as a floor. With a flow-based computer vision algorithm, we will be able to distinguish between stairs and escalators, and provide feedback to help visually impaired people gauge the level of caution required. This will improve the safety of the visually impaired, detecting obstacles a guide dog cannot.
