Naval and Army Bases, Air force Wings enable military operations and defence activities.

Defence infrastructure is well-managed throughout its lifecycle.

Defence Infrastructure Program Management

The Department of National Defence (DND) utilizes CAP to optimize its infrastructure by seeking cost-effective solutions with eligible recipients who have the mandate and capacity to operate and maintain the infrastructure and who may also benefit from joint use opportunities. Contributions are made to:

• Upgrade infrastructure (e.g., roads, sidewalks, and sewers in residential quarters; water treatment plants and water distribution systems that serve operational and non-operational requirements) after it has been transferred from DND to the eligible recipient;
• Expand and/or upgrade existing local infrastructure to better support DND requirements (e.g., water treatment plants, water distribution systems, airport runway extensions, roads); and/or
• Construct new local infrastructure, such as:
  • Community-oriented facilities for shared-use by the Base/Wing and local authorities (e.g., arenas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, community centers),
  • Infrastructure to support non-operational requirements such as for residential accommodation (e.g., roads, sidewalks, sewers), and
  • Infrastructure to support operational requirements (e.g., new access to the Base/Wing).

The immediate expected result is:

• Collaborations with local authorities to upgrade/expand/construct and own and operate public infrastructure and services that DND requires.

The intermediate expected results are:

• Reduced DND non-core infrastructure;
• Cost-effective development and maintenance of infrastructure, which involves one of the following:
  • reduced operating/capital costs, or
  • cost avoidance, or
  • minimized DND liability, and
• Improved/new/maintained infrastructure for use by DND members and their families.

The final expected results are:

• The optimization of DND infrastructure to support the evolving force structure; and
• Enhanced quality of life in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Once the design and any other aspects (e.g., asset transfer) are agreed upon, a second contribution agreement can be signed with the recipient and the project can be implemented.

Defence activities are carried out in a safe and environmentally responsible manner

Environmental Sustainability and Protection

The purpose of the program is to assist the Government of Quebec to initiate remediation of environmental contamination at the former Mid-Canada Line radar sites in Quebec. In the case of the former military radar sites, no department is directly responsible for the contamination and remediation efforts. Thus, the Department of National Defence (DND) is acting as the sponsoring department in order to obtain funding proposals in compliance with the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) framework for shared-responsibility sites.

The expected result is that contamination will be remediated by the Province of Quebec to acceptable levels thereby improving human health and the environment in the local affected areas.

Defence carries out activities in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner

Environmental Sustainability and Protection

The program provides funding to the City of North Bay for the remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the North Bay airport lands. This agreement was established under the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan framework for shared-responsibility sites.

The expected result is that PFAS contamination on the North Bay airport lands will be remediated by the City of North Bay to acceptable levels, to be determined through the contaminated site management process in accordance with Ontario Regulation 153/04. The remediation will thereby assist in minimizing risk of adverse effects to human health and the environment in the local affected areas.

People in distress receive effective search and rescue response

Operations in Canada

To prepare and train CASARA volunteers in the fundamental techniques required to assist in Search and Rescue (SAR) response activities, to maintain the National Organization, and to interact with members of the general aviation community for the purpose of SAR awareness.

The main expected result is to continue the support of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) SAR operations. A performance measurement and evaluation framework has been established that is based on program relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and economy. The performance measurement strategy identifies indicators required to monitor and gauge the performance of this program. This strategy supports the Program Manager in monitoring and assessing the results; to make informed decisions and take appropriate action when results deviate from expectations, providing effective and relevant reporting, and ensuring that the information gathered will effectively support evaluation.

CASARA's new SAR initiatives will modernize the SAR efforts by combining traditional search methods with the use of remotely piloted aircraft systems and integrating software to detect search object colours and parameters and cell phone homing capabilities for SAR. Further modernization of the organization includes centralized online training, tracking, digital publications, financial auditing, ensuring organizational accountability and raising awareness of the SAR system in the civilian aviation community.
