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.

Digitalizing Mobile Access Credentials for Hospitality
1006495
The purpose of this project is to develop a mobile application and dashboard to interact with existing building infrastructure and will enable guests of hotels and other short-term accommodations to access facilities and services with a digital access card in place of a physical access card. The results of this project will test the implementation of a secure authentication process that will verify the guest's identity through integration with the existing building infrastructure, such as the PMS (Property Management System) and access control systems.

Workplace Optimization
981238
Our ‘‘Bluetooth beacon mesh network,” paired with our mobile app, provides rough estimates of when and where users were in an office at the minute level. However, there is a lack of sufficient data to properly develop and test workplace optimization algorithms (high/low traffic areas, over/under-utilized spaces, changes in trends of space usage, short-term/long-term patterns of movement, etc.). From a business perspective, solving the difficult technical challenge of generating a synthetic dataset large and diverse enough to develop and test our algorithms would position us as tech leaders in the workplace optimization space.
