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.

AI-Driven Classification of Synoptic Weather Conditions Associated with Clusters of Lightning Ignited Fires in Canada
GC-130603S
The objective of this Project is to understand the association between synoptic weather conditions and groups of large lightning ignited fires by applying artificial intelligence. This objective aligns with the following departmental priorities from Theme I (“Understanding fire in a changing world”) found in the Blueprint for wildland fire science in Canada (2019-2029): 1) Develop national models of fire occurrence, 2) Understand large fire growth, and 3) Perform comprehensive assessments of fire and atmosphere relations.

5007063307 D004269001 P002432001
This project supports a grassroots movement in the Anbar and Ninewah Governorates in Iraq to prevent retributive violence and protect vulnerable populations. This initiative also establishes community-driven civil-military committees to allow civil society, local authorities and the security sector to address grievances linked with retributive violence. Project activities include: (1) conducting working-sessions for civil society organizations to co-ordinate activities in support to the anti-retribution movement; (2) developing a media campaign in support to the anti-retribution movement; and, (3) establishing civil-military committees to address grievances that could lead to retributive violence.
