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.

Multiscale coastal dynamics in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The primary goal of this project is to conduct a quantitative analysis of shoreline evolution and future trends while examining the processes driving changes along the coast of southern Victoria Island. This includes a particular focus on hydrodynamic factors such as waves, water levels, and storms, as well as the influence of local coastal permafrost conditions. This project also aims to build local capacity for coastal monitoring in the Arctic, providing communities with the necessary tools and knowledge to address the challenges posed by a changing coastline.

Understanding the ecological risk of ship-based contaminants in a warming Arctic

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The Arctic is warming rapidly, leading to longer ice-free seasons and increased shipping traffic, which raises the risk of oil-based pollution, particularly from harmful polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). Ongoing research, in collaboration with Northern communities, focuses on monitoring PACs in wildlife and integrating this data with shipping risk maps to identify pollution trends and inform environmental response efforts.
