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.

PROJECT BREAKTHROUGH
HT20382
This 38-month project with the Sudbury and Area Victim Services/Services aux victimes du grand Sudbury (SAVS) will develop and implement promising practices through the design and implementation of the Holistic Arts-Based Program (HAP) to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in Northern Ontario.
This will be achieved by 1) delivering the HAP through group facilitation in the Sudbury Area; 2) empowering youth to gain self-compassion, empathy, and effective coping strategies; and 3) delivering trauma-informed materials to youth groups.
At the end of the project, the organization will have 1) delivered HAP to at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking, including at-risk females and LGBTQ2S+ youth; 2) provided real-life skills training on mindfulness and self-awareness to youth; and 3) enhanced availability of trauma-informed bilingual materials in the Sudbury Area.
The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.
