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.

Youth - Construction Material Engineer
1031261
This project supports the development and testing of advanced construction materials for modular housing systems. The new graduate will help analyze material properties, optimize structural performance, and support testing for strength, durability, and environmental resistance. Their work will contribute directly to the development of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective building solutions designed for rapid deployment in remote and off-grid environments.

Youth hire - architectural engineer in training
1024010
TinyBox train new graduate, to support growth in sustainable housing solutions. They assist in designing net-zero home kits, providing technical improvements, and will play a hands-on role in unit installations to enhance productivity and efficiency. In addition, new graduates help us to cover sales, marketing, and customer engagement to boost TinyBox's market reach. This project equips the new employees with skills to contribute significantly to TinyBox's mission of affordable, sustainable housing. During this project, new graduates play a hands-on role in unit installations, providing on-site expertise that enhances productivity and ensures efficient project implementation.
