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.

Digitization and Migration of Upper Nicola Band Cultural Heritage Collection
2122-0183
The project will digitize and migrate these materials to UNB’s existing online archival database. Once uploaded, materials will be organized by keyword and research topic, ensuring that they are easily searchable. All applicable meta-data (date, author, origin, etc.) will be included. A digital map exhibit based on the digitized materials will show locations of important cultural sites (captikwl/creation stories, transformer sites, villages, Syilx/Okanagan place names) and provide contextual information about each site. A wall map version of the digital map will also be printed and posted in UNB’s office. The project will further UNB’s goal to collect, record, and preserve the UNB’s cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations.
