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.

This project includes the history of Anishinaabe communities in remote northern Ontario, located approximately 600 kilometres north of Thunder Bay and accessible only by plane or seasonal winter roads. The project aims to create a digital pathway to our history by offering online training in digital preservation skills and prioritizing the digitization of our most fragile and high-priority records, supporting our Nations’ return toward self-governance.
The materials identified for digitization include approximately 800 photographs, 150 cassettes (equivalent to roughly 75 hours), 100 film clips in mixed media formats (Super 8, 16 mm, totalling about 50 hours), 1 500 loose pages featuring text, hand-drawn maps, diagrams, and notes in ink and pencil, as well as 40 notebooks and journals containing an estimated 1 200 pages.
These records in particular capture an exceptionally dynamic time-frame in the area's history, including locations of traditional trap-lines, historical movements, cultural and archival value. Some of the stories within the audio recordings are also of particular cultural importance, containing knowledge from Elders who have passed, making these materials previously inaccessible, digitizing will provide for a deeper understanding of our history and traditional territory. These materials will also provide valuable context and commentary towards decision making as in areas where we otherwise have no documentation at all to support negotiations.
Training program consists of two deliveries of a set of four Courses.
How it works: Our courses use an on-line course management system. Courses are taught asynchronously along with scheduled virtual class meetings. Activities involve on-line and off-line participation. Our strong emphasis is on interaction between the participants and the instructors. Each course involves 3.75 hours per week (fifteen hours of work) with tutorial/coaching support to assist participants as needed to keep class actively engaged in the learning process.
Training program consists of a set of four courses which are as follows:
(1) Planning for digitization: foundations of context for cultural record
(2) Introduction for digital preservation: structure and deterioration of paper-based and multimedia materials
(3) Preservation reformatting: Creating digital collections
(4) Digital repository fundamentals, ethics and long-term sustainability
