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.

Ibex Development Project

Agreement Number:

994645

Duration: from Sep 1, 2022 to Dec 31, 2023
Description:

Our revolutionary, patent pending device, called the Ibex, helps people prevent and recover from falls. It is a rollator walker with an elevating seat that descends to floor level, raises to a height of 24” and stops anywhere in between. It helps people reach lower items, transfer on/off low surfaces, conserve energy by perching at counter height and the seat folds so people can stand or walk inside the frame. In the unfortunate event a fall happens, it can lift the fallen person from the floor independently or with minimal assistance. It provides people the confidence and independence to continue their activities of daily living and those that bring them joy.
