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.

Dial-A-Poem Montreal Audio Archives
1920-0967
This project aims to preserve and increase access to a series of more than 400 audio recordings of poems on 219 microcassettes, created for the Dial-A-Poem Montreal project (1986-1989). Based on its New York predecessor, Dial-A-Poem Montreal offered members of the public the opportunity to telephone a hotline and hear a poem read aloud by its author. The system consisted of a series of answering machines that used now-obsolete and highly vulnerable microcassette magnetic tape format. The series also includes recordings of comments left by listeners, recordings made at special events related to the project, and a small number of textual and graphical records.
