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.

Agreement:

BC Fast Pilot - Scale up and pilot demonstration of a self-healing coating system for dynamic corrosion prevention

Agreement Number:

1032400

Duration: from Jul 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The project aims to scale-up production of aminated self-healing coating tapes (“APE tapes”) for high impact industrial applications, focusing on the marine industry. These materials enable more cost-effective asset management through reduced maintenance cycles, lowered coating failure into marine waterways, and reduced asset deterioration due to steel corrosion.

Agreement:

Scale-up and formulation development of aminopolyolefin materials for application in marine transportation

Agreement Number:

981948

Duration: from Oct 18, 2021 to Jul 31, 2023
Description:

This project is targeting the development of a new eco-friendly marine coating system that prolongs the lifetime of marine assets. The production of this coating system, enabled by a2o’s adhesive aminopolyolefin (APO) materials, will be advanced to pilot scale and the coating formulation will be optimized to maximize coating efficiency.
