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.

Integrating drone and satellite SWIR and thermal sensors for improved monitoring of peatland wetness and fire dynamics
25FACAA76
The project will be carried out in collaboration with the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FNNND), using space-based data to support local priorities, providing updated information for wetland mapping, and improving knowledge of local hydrology and carbon storage. The project will combine drone imagery, satellite data, and field measurements to capture the unique characteristics of peatlands in sloped areas. It will also test new quantum dot SWIR technology while assessing smouldering peatland wildfires by tracking their movement over time and will use field and drone-based observations to improve models that predict how smouldering fires on flat and sloped terrain start, spread, and stop. The project will deliver updated peatland maps, detailed time-series maps of smouldering fire progression, empirical models linking drone and satellite data, and validated insights into fire behavior that can be used to support wildfire monitoring, emissions estimation, and land management strategies.
