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.

CONtact - Innovator Mentorship Program FY2026
1033002
This proposed CTO contribution will give some innovation focused Canadian SME's access to construction industry experts and influencers, that can serve as both a potential target customer segment, and that can provide active feedback for further innovation. Additionally, Canadian construction firms can benefit by exposure to new technologies that may impact increases in profitability, better efficiency, greater safety and many other areas for potential innovation.
Last year, we expanded the number of firms supported from 3 to 5, with all presenting at the CCA AGM in Quebec City in March 2025.
This year, we are proceeding with support for 5 SME's, and in addition to the AGM, adding a second presentation event at Construct Canada in Toronto in December 2025.
