Description:

Expected Results:

Short-Term:
The jurisdiction has the incremental security resources (i.e., assets, equipment, personnel) in place to support the RCMP-led security operations.

This outcome was achieved via the City of Ottawa through Ottawa Police Service (OPS) acquiring all necessary security resources to support security operations, including assets, equipment, and personnel.

Medium-Term:
Early federal engagement with jurisdictions to advance cost-effective planning and procurement activities and enhance cooperation between the host jurisdiction and the federal government.

Early federal engagement engaged during the planning stages of the RCMP-led security operations and PS officials continue to work with OPS in advancing the contribution agreement.

Long-Term:
Sound management of eligible incremental security costs incurred for a Major International Event.

This outcome will be achieved by reimbursing the City of Ottawa for eligible incremental security costs incurred for this event through a contribution agreement.
