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.

Therapeutic Justice Program

The main objective of this project is to adapt, test and implement the Therapeutic Justice Program (TJP) in Pond Inlet, Nunavut. The TJP is an Inuit-led diversion program that aims to reduce recidivism and overrepresentation of indigenous offenders and victims in correctional facilities, increase front-line services to Nunavummiut for mental health issues, substance abuse, and trauma as well as enhance community-resource capacity by empowering local leaders and organizations.

De-risking Nunafab's Housing Deployment in Nunavut through Technical Market Validation, Defence/Housing Requirements Translation, and Procurement Readiness
1043448
The project is to support two internal staff members to address two main bottlenecks: a cultural localization gap and manual process inefficiency in sales and marketing functions across Nunavut's 25 communities. Those issues remain relevant, but Nunafab's current stage now requires a broader technical-commercial response that addresses a more critical commercialization bottleneck: the gap between product interest and buyer-ready adoption packages for northern housing and defense related applications.
