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.

For-profit organization

Agreement:

Implementation of a ski and snowboard assembly process supported by augmented reality, machine vision, and artificial intelligence.

Agreement Number:

1035444

Duration: from Oct 6, 2025 to Nov 30, 2026
Description:

The firm is seeking to improve the assembly process for skis and snowboards manufactured using compression lamination. Following their research and discussions with various automation solution providers, it is clear that assembly operations in factories still pose a significant challenge for automation or robotization, as this type of workstation is rarely, if ever, 100% automated or robotized.

For-profit organization

Agreement:

Optimization of the process / Development of an automated blasting tunnel for ski and snowboard sidewalls

Agreement Number:

949020

Duration: from Jun 15, 2020 to Sep 30, 2021
Description:

The company's goal is to implement a modular automated tunnel-type blasting and finishing line, adapted for the manufacture of skis and snowboards, by 2026 in its manufacturing process. The general objective is to reduce the more physically demanding tasks for the operators and to improve the consistency and throughput time of the manufactured products. The present project consists of developing and building the first automated module for the start of the blasting line, which consists of blasting the sidewalls of skis and snowboards.
