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.

Green Youth; Supporting the Haplotech Development Program
911086
Haplotech has two facilities located at the Fort Gary campus Winnipeg and LaSalle, Manitoba. Haplotech is currently in process of transferring operations between the two facilities. This process requires fine-tuning the facilities in La Salle including optimization of the growing conditions in terms of soil, water, nutrients, light and air quality. The project will engage the services of 2 Green Youth employees who will be employed to perform various duties to support this process.

Fall detection and prevention
911107
Project is to develop a system that identifies biomarkers to predict Alzheimer Disease, a few years before the actual symptoms of the Neurodegenerative Disease (NDD) are fully apparent.
Machine Learning algorithms will be used on collected sensor data, recorded by ROVER, a wearable gait analysis device developed by Sensoplex.
The algorithms compare walking motion data of patients who have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer Disease (AD) against healthy individuals of same age and gender to find digital biomarkers that separate healthy subjects form the patients with MCI or AD.

Healthy Cabinetry Product Development and Manufacturing
911145
Mill work accounts for approximately 10% of the budget for any renovation or new build. It is the largest contributor to formaldehyde and harmful VOCs into the built environment. Empire Kitchen and Bath intends to add new products to its existing line of high quality custom cabinetry. The new cabinetry product will offer contractors, homeowners and commercial builders the option of a zero or lowest possible VOC and formaldehyde emitting product.
The ability to define, design, create and manufacture this new line of healthy cabinetry to a verified off gassing standard will require additional resources and present some technical challenges.
