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.

Novel Supplementary Cementitious Materials from Steel Slag
1031905
Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), a byproduct of iron production, has seen wide adoption by the concrete industry. On the other hand, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag, another abundantly available byproduct of steel production, has seen practically no use as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM).
Inkas and U of T undertook the development of the technology of converting BOF slag into reactive SCM using mechanical calcination (MC).
The positive results of the initial experiments suggested use of such method for processing BOF steel slag and proposed solution to a pressing problem of metallurgical waste utilization by converting it into reactive SCM that can be further used in concrete production.

Novel Supplementary Cementitious Materials from Concrete Waste - Phase 2
1019502
At Phase 1 of the project, the possibility of converting recycled concrete remains obtained from Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and Returned Concrete (RC) leavings from ready mix concrete trucks into reactive Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) using proposed by the firm's method of mechanochemical activation (MCA) technology was confirmed.
While the process was not optimized because of short duration of Phase 1, the positive results suggested use of such method for processing other than recycled concrete inert minerals, and particularly proposed a local solution to a pressing problem of converting GTA Georgian Bay Shale (GBS) bedrock excavation and tunneling waste into reactive SCM that can be further used in concrete production.

Novel Supplementary Cementitious Materials from Concrete Waste - Phase 1
1013138
Preparatory stage of developing technology for converting recycled concrete remains obtained from construction and demolition waste and returned concrete leavings from ready mix concrete trucks into reactive Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM).
The technology is based on the principle of mechanochemical activation of the recycled concrete remains/leavings in energy intensive grinding mills where the produced inside the mill impacts cause generation of crystal lattice defects or other metastable forms in the concrete particle, thereby converting inert mineral into a reactive material. The obtained reactive mineral material can be further used as a reactive (pozzolanic or hydraulic) SCM.
