Grants and Contributions:
The initiative supported the delivery of a safe and secure Major International Event, with no major security incidents, by ensuring the Niagara Regional Police Service had the necessary incremental security resources—assets, equipment, and personnel—to support RCMP‑led security operations. Early federal engagement with the host jurisdiction facilitated cost‑effective planning and procurement and strengthened coordination between federal and local partners throughout the planning and implementation phases.
A reporting delay is normal for this program because expenses were still being tallied after the event and a Contribution Agreement to reimburse the recipient can only be entered once a source of funds is secured. Project was preapproved to start on June 14, 2024, although the agreement was signed on March 2, 2026.
