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.

Bunibonibee Cree Nation Oral History Interviews and Digitization Project

BCN is developing a collection of documented oral history through mapping interviews with elders and knowledge holders. The collection currently includes audio recordings, notes, interview maps, and GIS shapefiles from 40 interviews carried out between 2008 and 2015. The current project aims to strengthen this collection. The project team will digitize past oral history interview materials and maps for secure storage and use by the Nation. It will also build the Nation’s collection of documented oral history through conducting 7 new interviews focused on the BCN people’s connections to their ancestral lands.
