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.

Digitizing Our History
LHOV-03-004
This project will create mobile digitization units staffed by post-secondary students to assist local Elders in transferring their media from cassettes, VHS tapes, film negatives, and historical documents into digital form. Intellectual property protections will be sought, and the owners of the material will be requested to participate in providing their material to a digital museum of our local history.
The key activity of the Alkw Media Society is to administer Nuxalk Radio with the mandate of promoting Indigenous language use and fluency, contributing positively to physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being, and providing information regarding Indigenous identity, history and culture. This project involves creating a digital library system to catalogue and store digitized items for Nuxalk community access, digitizing an estimated 100 hours of audio materials and texts and transcribing and broadcasting the materials over Nuxalk Radio.
