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.

Okemaw Iskwewak – Métis Women Empowerment Project
AN17008
This 42-month project will strengthen the leadership of Métis women in British Columbia to influence governance structures, programs, policies, and practices within Métis Nation British Columbia. A needs assessment to identify barriers that prevent Métis women, including elected women, from exercising leadership in their community will be conducted to inform the development of a gender framework. The culturally appropriate gender framework, with local and province-wide strategies to support women in their respective leadership roles, will be implemented to advance the needs of Métis women and girls. Through the project, the organization will establish and facilitate a dialogue between Métis women, local decision makers, and experts to develop and implement a shared vision of inclusive governance.
The supplemental funding will be used for staffing, acquiring software, and adopting a work plan to be in line with the pandemic limitation. Additional funding will allow MNBC to adapt to the shifting landscape of a remote workplace as well as the changing needs after a pandemic.
