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.

Childcare at Work: Expanding Economic Security in Newfoundland and Labrador
WP230434
Through this 33-month systemic change project, YWCA St. John’s will scale both YWCA Canada’s Born to Be Bold and Synergy projects to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale to a provincial scope by working with communities to test and address a lack of intersectional childcare policies and spaces as a systemic barrier to women’s economic security, significantly impacting those marginalized by immigration, race, class, and disability. To do so, the project will increase diverse women’s leadership and participation in systems change by developing a Project Advisory Committee made up of women of diverse lived-experiences to shape community-informed policy recommendations to childcare expansion. It will strengthen new and existing partnerships to promote multi-sector collaboration to act on these community-informed approaches. The project will widely share community informed learnings to support the development and implementation of stronger intersectional policies related to childcare, leading to lasting systemic change for gender equity and economic security. With provincial and national partners, it will engage in bilateral knowledge sharing of community-informed approaches on a local and national scale.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the YWCA St. John’s will enhance partnerships and sector knowledge to inform gender responsive childcare policies through coordinated engagement with national YWCA partners, targeted outreach to early learning and childcare operators in Newfoundland and Labrador, and key informant interviews to gather sector insights. They will also lead knowledge sharing initiatives across private, municipal, and sector stakeholders to inform gender responsive childcare policies and workforce recommendations. Additionally, the YWCA St. John’s will develop and implement trauma-informed training and onsite childminding pilot to reduce barriers for women and gender-diverse folks,and create a business plan for sustainable uptake in businesses. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
