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.

Accelerating Systemic Change to Prevent Sexual Exploitation of Vulnerable Young Women and 2SLGBTQ+ Youth
GV21818
This 30-month project will develop and implement best practices and resources created by the Ontario’s education sectors to scale up across Canada and in Ontario’s Catholic system to address the root causes of gender-based violence. White Ribbon will achieve this by increasing collaboration within the educational sectors and community partners to utilize Ontario’s education sectors best practices and change harmful gender norms, attitudes, and behaviours. Working across Canada, White Ribbon will advance gender equality for vulnerable female youth, Indigenous, racialized, and 2SLGBTQ+ folks who experienced sexual exploitation within the pandemic through creating systemic change.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
Through this project, White Ribbon will scale up what Ontario’s education sector has achieved in terms of best practices in the Ontario’s Catholic system and other Canadian education sectors. To scale up, they will build on Ontario’s lessons learned and adapt the training/classroom resources for use in New Brunswick, Quebec, British Colombia and Yukon ensuring they meet each province/territory's curriculum requirements. They will increase networking, accelerate change and ensure a consistent prevention approach to sexual exploitation of youth who are at high risk within COVID-19. Administrators, School Boards, Principals, Unions, and Educators will embrace their responsibility in ending sexual exploitation. In the classrooms, competent trained teachers will use the prepared lesson plans to change harmful gender norms and attitudes and prevent further harm by empowering youth with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need.
