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.

Using Indigenous wisdom to develop sustainable products and packaging.
952299
As an Indigenous beauty brand, we feel compelled to move to more sustainable products. Indigenous people are the founders of sustainability and Cheekbone Beauty is using pre-industrial wisdom to build a new beauty brand. Develop contour/foundation sticks and then further use our findings to develop more products based on the model of sustainability. We are using agricultural waste or plant-based by-products as the main ingredient in the cosmetics product, based on a circular economy and using less petroleum-based ingredients in cosmetics meeting consumer demand for plant-based ingredients. We are also using packaging that will use less plastic; raw ingredients that are sustainable will be housed in packaging that will biodegrade or compost.
