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.

UX/UI Stories creation and development
1008866
PeerX.AI understands how powerful peer support is at eradicating mental health stigma and promoting mental wellness. The firm is building a platform to leverage the potential of human connection and using AI to make peer support more scalable and effective as a pro-active treatment for mental wellness.
However, the utilization of digital mental health resources is low, with 90% of people stopping using such apps after just 7 days. To address this challenge, PeerX must be diligent in ensuring an excellent user experience (UX) to engage people on the platform to benefit from peer support. This project will focus on iterating the UX through a continuous loop of end-user testing, UX story creation, and technical implementation.
