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.

Sensor Technologies for Augmented NWT Water Quality Monitoring
1041653
Gaps in water quality monitoring include a need for real-time data or in many cases, near real-time data, as well as sensors that detect a variety of targets of concern. These gaps will be addressed by identification of the most critical issues through community engagement (on-going), and by adding capacity to NWT’s water quality monitoring program by testing various technologies that can augment data collection speed and broaden the number of targets and indicators that can be measured. Technologies to be explored include internet of things data transmission modules, either connected to existing systems (such as YSI sondes) or novel sensor systems (e.g., microbial fuel cells, portable spectroscopy). The Project will also prioritize knowledge transfer to communities, enabling local stewardship of aquatic ecosystems.
