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.

Arctic Indigenous & Youth Empowerment Initiative
7476635 P017492001
The project aims to strengthen the meaningful participation of Arctic youth, particularly Indigenous youth, in Arctic governance and policy dialogues. The project addresses key financial, structural, and systemic barriers that limit underrepresented youth from engaging in high level international forums, notably the Arctic Circle Assembly.
The initiative supports youth participation at the 2026 Assembly through funded travel and registration for eight Arctic youth, and enhanced on site youth support, including the Youth Lounge. Together, these components aim to amplify Indigenous and youth voices, foster leadership and capacity building, and promote inclusive and sustained participation in Arctic decision making spaces.
