Description of the horizontal initiative

To support the pursuit of the objectives of the Sport Hosting Program (refer to Program 7, Sub-Program Area 7.1), the federal government, through PCH, committed to providing up to $500 million in support of the Toronto 2015 Games. The federal commitments, outlined in the 2015 Pan / Parapan American Games Multiparty Agreement(MPA), signed in November 2009, include funding towards capital, legacies and the provision of EFS. The provision of EFS is considered a horizontal initiative within the larger federal investment in the Toronto 2015 Games. The EFS funding of up to $48.9 million was distributed across 13 federal organizations.

Shared outcome(s)

The articulated, shared outcome of the horizontal component of the federal investment for the Toronto 2015 Games is that “Federal departments and agencies have fulfilled their MPA essential federal service commitments.” These service commitments supported the overall staging of the Toronto 2015 Games and ensured they were delivered in a safe and secure manner. In support of this outcome, federal services were organized into four main service areas of activity: Weather Forecasting and Environmental Assessments; Emergency Preparedness; Security; and, Border Security and Accreditation Support.

Governance structures

PCH, through Sport Canada, had 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 PCH, 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 was 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 Working Group (EFSWG) and an Assistant Deputy Minister Essential Federal Services Steering Committee (ADMEFSSC) were established to support federal decision making, and performance and risk management for the delivery of EFS commitments. Additional working groups were 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 was the Safety and Security Working Group (SSWG). The SSWG was co-chaired by the RCMP and PSC 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 worked 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 were responsible for security and emergency management planning and operations for the Toronto 2015 Games. While coordination was achieved at the SSWG and through the EFSWG and ADMEFSSC, the SSWG also used 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 continued 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, PCH, through Sport Canada, continued to interface with the Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American 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 interacted with the Province of Ontario and with engaged municipalities through newly-developed or existing cooperation mechanisms and intergovernmental agreements. This facilitated 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.

Performance highlights

The 2015-2016 fiscal year was a period of significant activity for federal departments and agencies to ensure that EFS commitments were met in relation to the successful delivery of the Toronto 2015 Games. It was also the year in which the majority of EFS funding was expended by departments and agencies supporting the Games. Efforts included ongoing testing and refinement of federal operational plans in the immediate lead-up to the Games. In particular, this involved organizations whose mandates related to accreditation; the entry of goods and people; threat and risk monitoring and assessments; public health surveillance; as well as data collection, modelling and calibration of weather monitoring equipment to ensure accurate venue-specific forecasting.

Federal departments and agencies also tested the interoperability of their plans with those of various implicated provincial ministries and other Games stakeholders, including TO2015, the OFMEM, and the ISU during the Celebratory Spirit integrated command post exercise in April 2015.

All federal organizations continued to meet leading up to and during the Toronto 2015 Games to ensure horizontal coordination and information sharing. PCH, working closely with the RCMP and PSC, coordinated briefings during Games-time to ensure relevant and timely information sharing and issue management to support decision making and service delivery.

The Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games were successfully held in July and August, respectively. “Federal departments and agencies have fulfilled their MPA essential federal service commitments” by achieving the following expected results, organized into the four service areas:

Weather Forecasting and Environmental Assessments: Timely weather and environmental predictions were provided for each venue, three times per day, by the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre (OSPC) during the Torch Relays and throughout the Toronto 2015 Games. An EC team provided weather briefings in English and French from within the Games Main Operations Centre, providing the Organizing Committee and sporting federations with updates on forecasts, alerts, heat stress, ultra-violet index, air quality and near-shore marine conditions. By RCMP request, a second team provided a similar service from within the OPP-led Unified Command Centre in Brampton. From within EC, the Project Lead provided daily briefings by telephone to the EFS and Provincial Emergency Operations Centre along with an end-of-day report linking all briefing units together throughout the Games. The experimental, 60-station, high-resolution monitoring network (Mesonet) worked very well, with seamless dataflow from the instrument to all clients. The research level Urban Scale Weather Prediction Models worked very well over the Games footprint, giving new insights into the lake breezes and heat islands across urban areas at a never before seen scale. By the direction of the ADM of the Meteorological Service of Canada in EC and President of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an article summarizing this work was produced for international publication by the WMO. Ontario Region Environmental Protection Operations Division was at full readiness to provide assistance with environmental assessments but the capacity was not required. The Toronto 2015 Games served as a catalyst for enhancing existing weather services through research and demonstration projects that will benefit future generations of Canadians.

Emergency Preparedness: Thanks in part to wide participation across all Games partners in the Celebratory Spirit integrated command post exercise in April 2015, the Government of Canada was appropriately prepared to respond to emergencies. The simulation exercise was instrumental in identifying areas for improvement in Games operational plans and procedures, identifying where linkages with other operation centres could be enhanced, and helped foster an understanding of other organizations’ Games roles, operational cycles, information management and communications processes, leading to solid operations and communications at Games-time.

Health Canada, and other federal partners such as Natural Resources Canada, the Department of National Defence (DND/DN Safe), and Atomic Energy Canada Limited/Canadian National Laboratories, contributed to other emergency preparedness activities that included training and conducting radiation background surveys for the purposes of effective consequence management, if required.

The Public Health Agency of Canada activated the Health Portfolio Operations Centre to increased vigilance to ensure readiness in the event of a public health emergency during the Games. The National Emergency Strategic Stockpile (NESS) pre-positioned pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and supplies (medical countermeasures) to augment local surge capacity if required.

Security: The RCMP supported the OPP-led ISU in its law enforcement and security efforts through a direct link in the ISU. This included the provision of RCMP major event technologies and expertise, Games-specific threat assessments, and the protection of Internationally Protected Persons who attended the Games. The RCMP link in the OPP-led ISU also ensured the collaborative efforts of federal partners from the RCMP, CSIS, ITAC, CBSA, CIC, TC and EC in support of the Games, including but not limited to: security background checks, risk monitoring, threat assessments, intelligence sharing and weather monitoring.

Border Security and Accreditation Support: Effective and efficient border management and security supported the timely flow of goods and people, including significant support to the OPP-led accreditation process and security checks. Strong federal cooperation by CBSA, CIC, CSIS and the RCMP was provided to the OPP-led accreditation process and security checks and resulted in effective, efficient and secure border management of people and goods.

The OPP sought the support of RCMP accreditation expertise in regards to Security Accreditation Management System technology and to lead the accreditation security screening process on their behalf for the Games. The success of the Pan American and Parapan American Games accreditation process was the result of the strong administrative and operational partnerships that were developed between CBSA, CIC, CSIS and the RCMP over the course of other large scale Major Events hosted in Canada.

Total for all federal organizations			$48,519,054	$25,249,248	$16,816,762	Not applicable

Comments on variances: An actual variance of $353,707 exists between the total amount committed for the initiative ($48,872,761) and the allocation across the participating federal organizations ($48,519,054). The $353,707 was retained for contingency purposes in the fiscal framework to address funding pressures of participating organizations, and to ensure delivery of essential federal services. The $353,707 in contingency was not required and therefore not accessed during the 2015-2016 fiscal year.

Planned spending figures reported above include employee benefit plans (EBP) costs of 20% and Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Accommodation costs of 13% where applicable.

Actual spending amounts reported above include only the actual proportionate share of EBP and PWGSC Accommodation costs incurred against spent salary dollars. The variance between planned and actual accommodation costs incurred are considered sunk cost lapses as they are provided directly to PWGSC based on the planned salary estimates. The sunk cost lapses for accommodation in 2015-2016 include, in real dollars: $71,886 for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, $95,988 for Health Canada, and $53,736 for Transport Canada.

The total amount for all federal organizations in the ‘2015-16 Planned Spending’ column was reported in the Toronto 2015 Games – Essential Federal Services Horizontal Initiatives Table of the Department of Canadian Heritage 2015-2016 Report on Plans and Priorities as $25,249,250. The correct amount for this item should have been $25,249,248, and is reflected in the table above.

The total actual spending for all federal organizations does not include CSIS and ITAC as they do not disclose actual spending.

Funding in 2015-16 included a frozen allotment of $1,314,940 for foregone revenue. The frozen allotment is not available for use, and goes back to the fiscal framework. The frozen allotment offsets the foregone revenue that the federal government incurs for waiving the Temporary Resident Visa fees for Pan American and Parapan American athletes, their families, and designated officials. The foregone revenue was included as part of the CIC total allocation and identified within the planned spending, therefore this amount is reported as part of actual spending within the Migration Control and Security Management amount reported in the table above. Surplus funds for CIC for 15-16 total $818,006 (excludes the accommodation variance) was returned to the fiscal framework.

The Health Portfolio (HC and PHAC) changed its program alignment architecture in 2013-14. The activities and funding

that were formerly aligned with the Public Health Preparedness and Capacity program are now aligned with the Health

Security program. A Shared Services Partnership (SSP) was developed in order to transfer funds from HC to PHAC to

ensure the delivery of services. Note also that the activities formerly aligned with the ‘Communications Directorate’ are now

aligned within Health Canada’s Communication and Public Affairs Branch as a shared service across the Portfolio.

Transport Canada changed its Program Alignment Architecture in 2012-2013, this resulted in the creation of the

“Multimodal Safety and Security” (MSS) Program Area. For the purposes of this initiative, MSS includes coordination

activities by the Special Events Secretariat. These coordination activities were previously coded against the other Programs

but since MSS is new and was not included in the original allocation, funds are transferred internally to align with program

activities. This also resulted in Transport Canada re-aligning the original total allocation of funding for the different program

areas in accordance with planned activities and deliverables related to this initiative. The revised allocation of TCs funding

appears in the table above and represents the full allocation of funding originally secured net of any interdepartmental

transfers undertaken to date.
