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.

Mycelium Product Development
1020088
This project aims to quantify and mitigate some of the challenges associated with aerial mycelium production at a commercial scale. The project will uncover the root cause for deviants and contamination within the aerial mycelium growth process. Moreover, this project seeks to analyze a variety of potentially contributing factors and determine exactly what steps need to be taken in the aerial mycelium growth process to limit contamination and maximize throughput.

Eureka Canada-E!18856-WMP-Whitecrest Mycelium Project
1010978
As part of the international consortium project “WMP-Whitecrest Mycelium Project”, this project will focus a proprietary method for the production and processing of aerial mycelium produced in specific environment, and then preliminarily processed into a food ingredient before being finally transformed by MyForest Foods into MyBacon, a whole tissue meat alternative.
The production of a pure aerial mycelium for human consumption is a completely novel paradigm in fungal industry. As such, Whitecrest is excited to be on the leading edge developing this technology, and the systems required to industrialize it. Whitecrest and Limbraco will develop the required equipment and systems for the first Canadian aerial mycelium facility.
