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.

Advanced Progressive Itinerary and Lead Generation

The goal of the project is to evolve our itinerary management product from a dynamic single instance itinerary into an itinerary that progresses in stages delivering relevant content, messaging and revenue cross-sell opportunities at each instance. The approach is to leverage current Umapped Product, Design, Analytics and Engineering resources to deliver the following enhancements across the Umapped platform. Due to the current challenges with COVID-19 we don’t plan to use consulting for this project and the intention is to preserve jobs and with potential of a new job creation.

Enhanced Post Booking Experience
910959
Umapped provides travelers with a multi-channel itinerary experience for all of their bookings from their travel providers. Travelers further add to their itineraries with their own bookings (booked from other sources) and share the itineraries to their travel companions, family and friends. Currently, travelers spend the majority of their time accessing their itinerary prior to traveling (on average between 15 and 20 minutes).
This project aims to increase the stickiness of the Umapped itinerary experience by enhancing the travelers’ experience after travel providers make their bookings with relevant contextual information leading up to their trip and while they are traveling. This project will develop new features for the Umapped itine
