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.

Document management platform for estate planning documents
945558
NoticeConnect is developing a firm-facing digital document management platform that will allow law firms and trust companies to securely upload digital copies of wills and other estate planning documents to their digital will vault, as part of our Canada Will Registry product. This solution will benefit law firms – and by extension, their testator clients - by allowing them to back up important documents, restrict access to these sensitive documents to key personnel, and administer estates using verified copies of wills in cases where originals have been lost.

NoticeConnect is developing a consumer-facing web application that will allow members of the public to register their wills on NoticeConnect’s Canada Will Registry. This solution will benefit testators and estate administrators by ensuring that important estate planning documents are found. It will benefit NoticeConnect by widening the customer base of will registrants from lawyers to the general public.
Designing, building, and testing this feature will give the Graduate the experience of creating a new web application from beginning to end. The project will deepen his knowledge of front-end and back-end development frameworks.
