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.

Pathways to Purpose: A Youth Empowerment and Justice Reintegration Program
13791140
The "Pathways to Purpose: A Youth Empowerment and Justice Reintegration Program" is a three-year, community-driven initiative designed to reduce youth violence and gang involvement among racialized youth aged 12 to 17 in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick who are in contact with the youth criminal justice system. The program delivers wraparound services-including case management, mentorship, trauma-informed counselling, restorative justice supports, and gang exit programming-to youth at multiple stages of justice system involvement: post-arrest, during diversion or community-based sentencing, and throughout rehabilitation and reintegration. It provides individualized, culturally competent, and trauma-informed interventions that recognize the unique, multilayered barriers faced by racialized youth and their families.
