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.

Firestitch has developed a disruptive software solution for the Canadian Truck Driving School industry. The SaaS platform solves critical issues related to managing student drivers and a fleet of trucks, including real-time monitoring, logistics, road regulations, safety policies, and extensive tracking procedures.
We released the first version in May 2021. During the App development, we discovered that truck driver training schools had specific geospatial and mapping needs in addition to scheduling issues. The new App unifies and automates scheduling, communication, tracking, and reporting operations. This digital transformation removes over 50% of the manual entry and 90% of the duplication currently required by the process stakeholder
