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.

Restoring Landscape-level Connectivity to Allow for Predator-Prey Dynamics in a Critically Threatened Forest Region

This contribution supports the scientific basis for development of an active management plan to retain populations of large Carnivores within the Beaver Hills Biosphere Reserve. Through identifying source populations of large carnivores and corridors within the Biosphere, identifying sources of human-carnivore conflicts and human caused mortality of carnivores, and providing recommendations on mitigations, this project will improve natural regulatory processes within the region and improve the health of ungulate populations in Elk Island National Park.
