Horizontal Initiative – Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games - Essential Federal Services

Not applicable.

While other organizations and levels of government are involved in the staging and delivery of the Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games, they are not involved in the delivery of essential federal services.

The Department of Canadian Heritage, through Sport Canada, has the responsibility to oversee and support the coordination of federal service delivery by ensuring integrated planning, performance, and risk management and reporting. A horizontal governance framework (Governance Framework) was developed by the Department of Canadian Heritage, in collaboration with other federal departments and agencies receiving incremental funding, to support horizontal efforts for coordination and accountability. The Governance Framework was updated in 2014 and unanimously endorsed by the 13 participating organizations in receipt of incremental funding for the delivery of EFS.

The federal governance structure implemented for this investment is similar to the one used for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Building on best practices and lessons learned during that undertaking, an Essential Federal Services Work Group (EFSWG) and an Assistant Deputy Minister Essential Federal Services Steering Committee (ADMEFSSC) have been established to support federal decision making, and performance and risk management for the delivery of EFS commitments. Additional working groups have and will continue to be created on an as-needed basis, generally in accordance with the service areas or key deliverables requiring interdepartmental/agency collaboration.

A key related working group supporting EFS delivery is the Safety and Security Working Group (SSWG). The SSWG is co-chaired by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Public Safety Canada as the federal leads for security coordination and emergency preparedness/consequence management coordination, respectively. In addition to working closely across federal organizations, the co-chairs also work in close collaboration with the Integrated Security Unit (ISU) led by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and with the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management (OFMEM), who are responsible for security and emergency management planning and operations for the Toronto 2015 Games. While coordination is achieved at the SSWG and through the EFSWG and ADMEFSSC, the SSWG also uses the existing emergency management committee structure or other appropriate existing federal interdepartmental structures to facilitate interdepartmental planning and decisions related to the delivery of the EFS commitments made for the Toronto 2015 Games.

Significant interdepartmental/agency and intergovernmental/stakeholder collaboration continues at the multi-stakeholder and Governmental Pan American and Parapan American Accreditation Working Groups, given the importance of accreditation to overall security for the Toronto 2015 Games.

On behalf of the Government of Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage, through Sport Canada, continues to interface with the Toronto 2015 Games Organizing Committee (TO2015) and with other MPA parties through the MPA Executive Coordinating Committee and the Operations Coordinating Committee (CC1 and CC2 respectively), and to serve as an observer to the Board of Directors of TO2015.

Federal organizations also interact with the Province of Ontario and with engaged municipalities through newly-developed or existing cooperation mechanisms and intergovernmental agreements, in order to facilitate intergovernmental collaboration and planning, as well as with TO2015 and other stakeholders, where required, to ensure the delivery of EFS and to coordinate integrated operations across the different jurisdictions and service providers.

The 2014–15 fiscal year was a period of considerable activity for federal departments and agencies to ensure EFS that commitments have been or will be met in relation to the Toronto 2015 Games. Efforts included ensuring alignment with provincial and municipal plans for the safe staging of the Toronto 2015 Games. The end of the fiscal year and the start of a new one, on April 1^st, aligned with the countdown milestone of 100 days to the Toronto 2015 Games.

Federal departments and agencies worked together and with the Integrated Security Unit led by the Ontario Provincial Police, the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management and TO2015 to finalize, test and refine their Games-time operational plans in 2014–15. Key activities included the testing of federal emergency/consequence management and of security plans through individual department/agency exercise efforts as well as through integrated (federal-provincial-municipal, multi-organizational) tabletop and functional exercises.

In addition to preparing overall federal readiness and EFS delivery, federal departments and agencies also finalized the accreditation process and the visa accreditation card design and began processing accreditation applications. Federal threat monitoring and assessments continued with a comprehensive threat risk assessment being issued by the RCMP on the first day of the new fiscal year, and the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (ITAC) providing both a baseline assessment in the fall of 2014 and an update in the final quarter of 2014–15.

A federal risk assessment was completed under the leadership of Public Safety Canada, and federal departments and agencies involved in safety and security nearly completed of the federal safety and security plan in 2014–15.

The final preparations for the provincially-led integrated exercise program were completed with the assistance of federal departments and under the leadership of Public Safety Canada, and resulted in the design, the development and the delivery of the actual exercise, which was delivered successfully in April 2015. Planning and engagement for this final exercise included over 100 different organizations from federal, provincial and municipal governments, TO2015, and other first responders and Toronto 2015 Games stakeholders.

Federal collaboration with the province continued as briefing schedules, information sharing mechanisms and processes were identified and confirmed, and federal plans were finalized or in the final stages of completion. Federal requirements were identified and confirmed and, in some instances, the pre-positioning and deployment of federal assets to support Games-time preparation and operations was completed.

Mechanisms for collaboration between federal intelligence organizations to support timely collaboration and appropriate integration with the provincially led, Joint Intelligence Group were confirmed.

Health Canada collaborated with the Canada Border Services Agency, other federal departments and agencies, and TO2015 to finalize the process related to the importation of health products by teams for the Games to be in compliance with the Food and Drugs Act and its Regulations. A Declaration Form was developed and provided to teams in advance of the Games about the health products to be imported into Canada. The form will enable Health Canada to identify products containing controlled substances and precursor chemicals that require specific regulatory exemptions and to identify any potential issues prior to importation of therapeutic products such as drugs, medical devices and natural health products. This process will facilitate teams entering Canada during the Games. More information can be found on the Health Canada website at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/compli-confrom/import-export/notice-avis-panam-eng.php

Efforts continued towards the development of operations and coordination mechanisms to ensure facilitated border entry; to identify and address transportation related matters across all operations; complete the installation of the expanded weather monitoring network equipment; and the continued collection of environmental data to support accurate weather forecasting, warnings and modeling for environmental or other consequence management, safety and security considerations.
