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.

Development of Sustainable Reinforced Concrete Poles/ Posts for supporting farming practices in North America
990285
Develop environment-friendly and sustainable concrete poles for supporting farming practices in North America by using alternate reinforcements such as BFRP and reducing the use of Portland cement by replacing it with post consumer waste materials such as glass. The newly developed concrete poles would require less labor for its production when compared to traditional concrete poles that are reinforced with steel rebars; and would have a much higher service life compared to the wooden poles used by many farmers. Additionally, the reduction of the use of Portland cement on a large scale will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
