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.

Deployable optical telescope for high-resolution LEO earth observation
20STDPL08
Wyvern is developing technology which will enable an optical telescope to unfold in space, allowing to deliver higher quality images of earth from even smaller satellites. Upon deployment from a stowed position, the increased light collecting area of the primary mirror would allow to take images with a higher spectral content. Essentially, it would allow to build an inexpensive satellite with the data performance of a much larger and more expensive one.
Currently, farmers pay significant fees to specialist companies to fly airplanes and drones over their fields to determine crop health and vitality. This would be more convenient and affordable from a satellite platform. Currently there are no satellites that provide fully suitable products. Wyvern is developing a solution that will change this.
