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.

Youth: Commercialization of AirTrail Flight Operations Platform
1028997
The purpose of this project is to solidify and enhance the customer support capabilities of Air Trail. Currently, Air Trail has one FTE in a support position. By doubling this, we will not only be able to respond to customer support issues more effectively, but we will have the bandwidth to build a customer-facing support site with documentation, videos, and a wiki so that clients can better self-serve in troubleshooting issues on their own. This, in conjunction with an additional person on phone and email support, is essential groundwork required before we shift our company focus to rapid scaling of customer acquisition. The additional support person will also be critical to the labour-intensive onboarding process.

Creating An All-In One Operational Management Solution For Specialty Air Operators
1017211
Currently, Air Trail’s aerial firefighting operators utilize the firm's product to accomplish compliance related tasks (flight planning, journey logging, and duty regulations) for a key set of stakeholders within their organization. As Air Trail scales, the firm realizes that there is a need beyond the key set of stakeholders. Clients with larger fleets have larger teams of employees that have more sophisticated management teams and complex requirements. This project will transform AirTrail's software from a powerful specialty tool for core stakeholders into the go-to tool for all stakeholders by adding GPS integration into logbooks, increasing security features, maintenance tracking, and a digital records keeping system.

The developments in this project include allowing for remote access to sign off aircraft maintenance releases, integrating new third-party maintenance software and developing a mobile-friendly pilot duty interface. Air Trail will also automate its QA and onboarding processes.
