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.

The firm has executed an agreement with Nomad Power (based in Vermont, USA). The intent of the agreement is for the firm to represent and promote Nomad’s Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) to the Atlantic Canada market, and to expand its service offerings and gain expertise in the BESS sector.
One of the target markets for BESS is northern and remote communities that are serviced by isolated electrical grids (micro-grids) supplied by Diesel powered generation.
The firm has recently had meetings with a representative of the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) to explore the possibility of integrating a BESS to the Black Tickle, Labrador micro-grid to supplement the existing diesel generation and a recently installed solar power system.
