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.

Technology Development Partnerships
1013842
Working in collaboration with technical, scientific, and engineering experts in the field of sustainable composites, Tern Boatworks is developing a suite of eco-friendly composite products and has generated a sizable amount of important Intellectual Property in this area of materials expertise. Strategically, our management team has decided to explore international partnerships to leverage our position. This proposed project will focus on exploring assessment of technology needs for the adoption of Tern Boatworks innovative composite recycling technology by a number of potential international customers. While also exploring technical adaptations to industry sectors beyond boatbuilding, including windfarm blades, and military and coast guard applications.

Feasibility of Designing and Building a Full Composite Recycling Facility
994338
This project will focus on the feasibility in developing a large scale recycling of “advanced sustainable composite materials” and building a recycling production facility. The project includes the design, build and testing of both small and large scale eco-friendly composites from which it should be possible to completely recycle with minimal environmental impact. Ultimately the goal of this project is to prove through practical composite construction methodologies that advanced, innovative eco-friendly composite materials can be used and re-used for large scale marine products.
