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.

Aurora 2.0 is a youth-focused initiative designed to empower over 40 Canadian participants—especially those from Arctic and northern communities—through immersive international experiences, mentorship, and leadership development. The project includes three core programs: the Emerging Leaders Program, which offers a seven-day leadership and policy engagement experience in Northern Norway for 4–5 youth annually; the Emerging Leaders Alumni Network, which sustains and expands youth involvement through mentoring, digital events, and year-round Arctic policy engagement; and the Student Forum Program, which supports 4–5 upper-level undergraduate and master’s students each year in interdisciplinary collaboration and international presentation at the Arctic Frontiers Student Forum.
