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.

Throwback to the 2000s: Modern Impressions and Transferable Knowledge is a project dedicated to arranging and describing heritage recordings from the early 2000s while advancing shared digital preservation strategies with other Indigenous organizations.
The videos are from the oldest format in StrongFront's collection of MiniDV tapes. Between 2000 and 2006, there are over 760 tapes, totalling approximately 507 hours of footage (40 minutes per tape). From 2006 to 2012, technology improved and there are approximately 560 MiniHDV tapes, with a combined runtime of 560 hours (60 minutes per tape).

LHOV-02-030
This project seeks to create a detailed inventory that captures information with enduring value from a collection of DV tapes dating back to 1996. The project will result in a full package of descriptive information, including the arrangement and descriptions of 150 tapes from 1996 to 1999, with details such as dates, extent, physical condition, overarching themes in the content, access restrictions, and the Indigenous communities and people interviewed. It will also identify the agency responsible for creating the production.
Strongfront Productions' oldest format is the DV tape, widely used from 1996 to 2005. During this period, the company amassed over 2 250 tapes, totalling 1 500 hours of recorded content. As technology advanced between 2006 and 2011, the production shifted to HDV tapes, resulting in an additional 2 625 recordings. The culture and language recordings are from Manitoba Métis and First Nations communities, on and off reserve, in places like Bunibonibee, Canupawakpa, Chemawawin, Churchill, Cross Lake, Dakota Tipi, Fisher River, Fox Lake, Garden Hill, Grand Rapids, Keeseekoowenin, Lake Manitoba, Little Grand Rapids, Long Plain, Mathias Colomb, Mosakahiken, Nisichawayasihk, Norway House, Opaskwayak, Peguis, Rolling River, Roseau River, Sagkeeng, Sandy Bay, Sapotaweyak, Sioux Valley, Skownan, St. Lazare, St. Laurent, St. Theresa Point, Tadoule Lake, Tataskweyak, The Pas, War Lake, Wasagamack, Winnipeg, and Thompson.
