Grants and Contributions:
The initiative supported the delivery of a safe and secure Major International Event with no major security incidents by ensuring that the Kananaskis Improvement District had the incremental security resources—assets, equipment, and personnel—required to support Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) led security operations. Early federal engagement with the host jurisdiction facilitated cost‑effective planning and procurement and strengthened cooperation 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 February 27, 2026.
Contribution Program to reimburse host jurisdictions for extraordinary security costs in support of an RCMP-led security operation for a Prime Minister or Minister-led international event.
