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.

Co-Creating an AgeTech Knowledge and Action Platform
1039451
Canada’s AgeTech ecosystem has grown rapidly but remains highly dispersed. Knowledge generated across programs such as AGE-WELL and the NRC’s Aging in Place (AiP) Challenge program is difficult to find, access, and apply, creating fragmentation and barriers to scaling solutions that improve quality of life for older adults and caregivers. This two-year pilot will co-design, test, and launch a knowledge mobilization platform that consolidates AGE-WELL and AiP outputs including design standards, evaluation frameworks, policy briefings, and impact metrics into a single, searchable hub for the AgeTech ecosystem. Co-created with the key interested parties within Canada’s AgeTech ecosystem older adults and their caregivers, industry partners and SMEs, academics and the research community, health and social care system collaborators, and policy and decision makers, the platform will bring together the existing AGE-WELL and AiP networks within a Community of Practice model that leverages AGE-WELL’s decade of ecosystem-building experience. By leveraging AGE-WELL’s national network, collaborating partners will embed AiP and AGE-WELL outputs into a sustainable, lasting infrastructure—a legacy resource to accelerate AgeTech innovation across Canada and ensure continued knowledge sharing and platform evolution beyond the pilot phase.
