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.

AI enabled navigation of unmanned aircraft systems in remote Northern areas
975734
This Project considers the intricate challenges that are associated with transportation and logistics support to remote and northern areas of Canada. The objective of the Project is to design and develop autonomous capabilities for the navigation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) range where operator intervention may not be feasible. The Project will consist of the development of AI-based algorithms for autonomous BVLOS flight routes, algorithm development for simultaneous localization and mapping, the design of vision-based control methods for landings, intelligent aerial manipulation control techniques for package delivery and pickups; collecting drone flight and delivery-pickup data from northern Manitoba communities and verifying the AI-based methods through simulations and experiments.

Integration of Earth observation into the E-NUNDATION solution
This project aims to develop innovative approaches using Earth observation data for modeling and mapping floods, the most frequent and damaging natural disaster in Canada. By integrating optical and radar satellite imagery, this project will generate near-real-time flood boundaries and flood maps. These results will help decision-makers to have a global and current vision of the risk in order to take preventive action and optimize interventions, and for insurance companies to better evaluate risks for their clients.
