End date: Perpetual

Description: In accordance with a Multi-Party Agreement (MPA), the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia each contributed $55 million to the Legacy Endowment Fund, which is managed by the 2010 Games Operating Trust. The Legacy Endowment Fund supports the maintenance and operating expenses of specific 2010 Winter Games sporting venues and charitable and not-for-profit organizations managing high-performance amateur sport and coach development programming at those venues and elsewhere in Canada. The three legacy facilities receiving the funds are the Richmond Oval (Richmond, BC), Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Sliding Centre (Resort Municipality of Whistler, BC). This commitment by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia ensures that Canadians will continue to use the venues and benefit from sport programming well beyond 2010 (http://www.vancouver2010.com).

The Board of Directors of the 2010 Games Operating Trust Society (the Society) consists of eight representatives from the signatories to the MPA (Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games [VANOC], the City of Vancouver, the City of Richmond, and the Resort Municipality of Whistler). The Society will oversee and manage this Trust until an agreed-upon future date or until the end of the Monarchy.

Beyond maintaining and operating the three principle venues, the Society will provide the needed funding to continue high-performance programming for Canadian athletes at these venues and elsewhere in Canada.

Strategies / Comments

  • Definition of Location: Region
  • Number of Locations with Canadian Heritage:
    • Canadian Heritage operates in 6 Regions in Canada:
      1. Western Region (British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon);
      2. Prairies and Northern Region (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, North West Territories, Nunavut);
      3. Ontario Region;
      4. Québec Region;
      5. Atlantic Region;
      6. National Capital Region.
    • Approximately 80% of all Canadian Heritage employees are based in the National Capital Region.
  • Implementation Strategies:
    • In the National Capital Region, surplus EEE is centrally controlled by Contracting and Materiel Management Directorate (CMMD). Disposal takes place in accordance with the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Directive on Disposal of Surplus Materiel requirements and practices. 
    • An assessment of current regional practices and funding implications will be conducted to determine a process for rolling out the implementation plan to the regions. All regions will have fully implemented the EEE implementation plan by March 31, 2014.

Roles, Responsibilities and Key Activity Areas:

  • Responsibility Centre Managers are responsible for the management of assets. Once an asset is no longer required, they are responsible for identifying the asset as surplus and for informing the proper functional areas (e.g. CMMD, Facilities Management, Knowledge, Information and Technology Services (KITS), etc.).
  • CMMD manages the warehousing and storage functions associated with surplus EEE and oversees proper surplus EEE disposal, once the necessary verifications have been done by other potential stakeholders (e.g. KITS), using the appropriate disposal mechanism (Computers for Schools Program, Crown Assets Disposal, E-Waste Recycling DISO or Provincial Program, etc.).

Mechanisms to Evaluate Plan Effectiveness:

  • Canadian Heritage will rely on internal reports that will be generated through its Internal Financial Management System (SAP), as well as disposal records to evaluate the effectiveness of its EEE disposal activities.

Plans/Strategies for Intradepartmental Engagement:

  • The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy and the overall disposal strategies will be communicated to managers through the use of e-mail notifications.
  • Senior Managers will be made aware of the departmental position, action plan and practices.
  • Facilities Management and KITS will be involved in the disposal of surplus assets for which they have some responsibilities.

Notes:

  • 1. This would be demonstrated by achieving LEED NC Silver, Green Globes Design 3 Globes, or equivalent.

  • 2. The Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) is a Special Operating Agency and a Branch of the Department of Canadian Heritage. CCI is the custodian of the properties at 1729-1731 St-Laurent Boulevard (a warehouse) and 1030 Innes Road (Laboratory and Office facility), Ottawa, Ontario. The building on Innes Road is leased on a Triple Net Lease and CCI is totally responsible for all operations, maintenance and repairs of the entire building envelop and systems. Until March 31, 2011, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is the service provider. From April 1, 2011, CCI will operate the building directly.

    Only GGO Green Building Goal 8.3 applies to the CCI building on Innes Road which is a special purpose space, leased by the Crown, with a triple net lease that expires in April 2015. CCI will operate directly the building operation and its maintenance. The process to renew the lease will start in 2011. CCI will develop a Strategic Sustainable Development Framework by April 2012, using the template being developed by PWGSC and will include all the necessary assessment. The assessment tools will include BOMA BESt (Building Environmental Standards), an appropriately tailored BOMA International Green Lease Standard, or equivalent (for more information, see: http://www.bomabest.com/). The framework will be updated in each reporting cycle.

    GGO Green Buildings Goals 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4 do not apply to CCI for the following reasons: 
      8.1: CCI does not have a new building and is not in a situation of "build to lease".
      8.2: CCI is not in a Crown owned building.
      8.4: CCI does not plan any fit-up or refit project up to 2012.

  • 3. Assessment tools include: BOMA BESt, Green Globes or equivalent.

  • 4. Assessment tools include: BOMA BESt, an appropriately tailored BOMA International Green Lease Standard, or equivalent.

  • 5. This would be demonstrated by achieving LEED CI Silver, Green Globes Fit-Up 3 Globes, or equivalent.

  • 6. Alternatively, departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act (FSDA) can follow the approach required of FSDA departments for green procurement by setting and reporting on green procurement targets as specified in the "Green Procurement Targets" section in the above table.


Horizontal Initiatives


Name of Horizontal Initiative: Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality 2008-13: Acting for the Future

Name of lead department: Canadian Heritage

Lead department program activity: Official Languages

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: April 1, 2008

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: March 31, 2013

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $1,110.10 M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):  

The Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality 2008-13: Acting for the Future (Roadmap) is a Government of Canada policy statement that includes a number of initiatives to strengthen and promote linguistic duality. Fifteen federal institutions have received funds for sectoral programs and activities related to official languages. The Roadmap contributes to the attainment of a strategic outcome for Canadian Heritage (Canadians share, express and appreciate their Canadian identity) and to the Government of Canada’s outcome (A diverse society that promotes linguistic duality and social inclusion).

Two of key components of the Roadmap are the implementation of an accountability framework and a coordinated government-wide approach to official languages. The Roadmap is a component of the Official Languages Program (OLP), as defined and approved by the Committee of Deputy Ministers on Official Languages in December 2004.

Web site: http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/slo-ols/strat-eng.cfm

Shared outcomes:  

Three levels of outcomes have been established.

Ultimate outcome: Canadians enjoy the benefits of linguistic duality; live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values with respect to the use of English and French; and have access to government services in the official language of choice.

Three intermediate outcomes:

  • Enhanced capacity of Canadians (English-speaking in Quebec and French-speaking across Canada) to live and work in vibrant communities in the official language of choice.
  • Increased proportion of Canadians who are aware of the benefits and have the necessary tools to appreciate linguistic duality.
  • Strengthening capacity of the Government of Canada relating to official languages.

Eight immediate outcomes:

  • Continued and improved access to justice services in both official languages.
  • Continued and improved access to health services in both official languages.
  • Improved social and economic development of official-language minority communities (OLMC).
  • Strengthened capacity of language industries.
  • Improved knowledge and use of both official languages.
  • Improved access to cultural expressions of both linguistic groups.
  • Reinforced coordination for the Official Languages Program (OLP).
  • Reinforced linguistic duality in federal public service.

Governance structure:

The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is responsible for the implementation of the Roadmap. The Official Languages Secretariat (OLS) (Canadian Heritage) supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. With respect to roles and responsibilities, the OLS is responsible for developing and coordinating the results of the Roadmap. The OLS ensures that all information (financial and non-financial) needed is gathered and that the content of all logic models of the Roadmap’s structure is taken into consideration. The OLS is also responsible for the complete implementation and the accountability framework for the Roadmap. This role was given to the OLS by the partners through the development of a the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework for the Roadmap, which outlines the activities and results structure, the governance structure, as well as the roles and responsibilities of departments and different interdepartmental committees, while also identifying the relevant operational issues concerning its horizontal implementation. The OLS also support the governance of the OLP through various mechanisms and committees.

A governance structure has been established to support the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and to ensure that the Roadmap provides results for Canadians, the Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages (CADMOL) was created. This committee acts on behalf of all federal departments, agencies and organizations, partners in the Roadmap in a variety of ways: it supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and all ministers who have responsibilities under the Official Languages Act (OLA); it ensures leadership for managing the OLP, including the Roadmap, by making decisions and overseeing the coordination of partners’ actions; it guides the implementation of the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework (HRMAF) and oversees the evaluation of the Roadmap. During CADMOL meetings, departments having specific responsibilities under the OLA (for instance, Canadian Heritage, Justice Canada, and the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer) report on achievements that are specific to their mandate and describe the challenges and issues related to these responsibilities.

Three interdepartmental committees support CADMOL by providing recommendations. Firstly, the Interdepartmental Policy Committee (IPC) provides an information-sharing forum between partners in order to present a joint approach to strategic issues regarding the OLP. The Interdepartmental Management Committee for the Official Languages Program (IMCOLP) seeks to ensure that interdepartmental coordination of the OLP is formalized and structured, most notably by assessing the implementation of the OLP and strengthening the accountability process. The Coordinating Committee on Official Languages Research (CCOLR) ensures that official-languages research is coordinated. The committees may create working groups as needed to complete specific projects. For example, the Working Group on the HRMAF Revision (Working Group) was created in the summer of 2008.

Planning Highlights: 

For the year 2011-12, the implementation of the Roadmap continues in respect of the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework released in September 2009. The coordination of the implementation is facilitated by the formal governance structure in place. The Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages and its support committees, as well as various interdepartmental groups ensure that the different strategies allow for monitoring, measuring and evaluation of the results expected for 2011-12.

A horizontal evaluation of the Roadmap is scheduled for 2011-12 and 2012-13. This evaluation will be lead by the Office of the Chief Audit and Evaluation Executive of the Department of Canadian Heritage. All the partners of the Roadmap will participate and contribute on a pro rata basis depending on their allocated funding within the Roadmap to an estimated amount of $300,000 to make the evaluation.

Ultimate outcome: Canadians enjoy the benefits of linguistic duality; live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values with respect to the use of English and French; and have access to government services in the language of choice.

Intermediate outcome 1: Enhanced capacity of Canadians (English-speaking in Quebec and French-speaking across Canada) to live and work in vibrant communities in the language of choice.

Immediate outcome 1.1: Continued and improved access to justice services in both official languages.
