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.

Load & Haul Optimization and Decarbonization for open-pit mining
1029609
RIGID ROBOTICS revolutionizes the mining industry by connecting mining equipment and frontline workers to real-time precision data and insights to make better decisions. Since 2012, the company has been focused on the development of innovative solutions for smarter and greener mining, enabled by partnerships that include Canada’s largest diversified mining company.
The company’s core patented technology, RIGIDprecision™, is a scalable and unified PLATFORM + APP solution that enables mining operations to mine with significantly higher precision than before. Enabling such "Precision-Mining" enhances operational efficiency, reduces variability, improves performance, and significantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The real-time data collected by proprietary sensors and analyzed using AI/ML algorithms empower miners to optimize mining processes, leading to reduced operation time of mining equipment. This reduction in operation time not only enhances operational efficiency and improves overall performance but also contributes to a significant reduction in GHG emissions. With the ability to precisely understand and control mining processes, RIGIDprecision enables operations to minimize energy wastage and streamline operations, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. With GHG reduction as a key benefit, RIGIDprecision aligns with the global sustainability goals and helps mining companies adopt environmentally responsible practices while maximizing productivity and profit.
