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.

Remote Sensing System Designed for Winter in Canada’s Arctic
993640
The project objective is to develop Alietum’s novel manned-aircraft mapping system’s capacity for winter operations. The proposed winterization research and development will examine numerous solutions to insolate the system from the cold weather, enabling data collection to occur in winter. Adapting Alietum’s aerial mapping system to winter temperatures will expand their operating season and open their services to new clients.

Novel Remote Sensing Techniques Designed for Canada’s Arctic
971301
The impacts of climate change are felt strongly in north; affecting ecosystems, sustainability of northern infrastructure, and the ways of life for northern Canadians. This drives a need for increased temporal monitoring of environment and infrastructure susceptible to climate change. Alietum is developing a manned-aircraft based system for mapping large scale survey areas in the north. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a system for large scale aerial mapping using direct georeferencing. The success of this project will allow for high accuracy, repeatable large scale monitoring at a reduced cost to the end client, using equipment and processes tailored specifically for remote arctic locations.
