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.

The Northwest Territories Department of Justice, Community Justice and Community Policing Division, will establish a Family Information Liaison Unit (FILU) to gather information for families of missing and murdered Indigenous women. This FILU will include two sites. One will be situated in Inuvik to serve the Beaufort Delta and Sahtu areas and one will be located in Yellowknife to serve the Dehcho, South Slave and North Slave areas. Information and support will be provided by the FILU's coordinators, in partnership with the Native Women's Association of the Northwest Territories (NWA) who will provide a Family Support Facilitator at both FILU locations in NWT. This model will result in effective use of resources and will ensure that support services for family members are coordinated, accessible, and culturally relevant.

SATL intends to build a 160MW CAES facility near Lloydminster. The facility will be designed to enhance the economic viability of renewable energy generation and to ensure the stability of the transmission grid system in light of the growth on intermittent renewable energy as a percentage of total energy generation in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
