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 outcome(s):
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:
Eight immediate outcomes:
Governance structure(s):
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is responsible for the coordination of the implementation of the Roadmap. The Official Languages Secretariat (OLS) (Canadian Heritage) supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages in this implementation and is responsible for the coordination of the accountability of the Roadmap. The OLS especially gathers financial
and non-financial information from the partners to present planning and reporting of the initiatives of the Roadmap.
This function of the OLS is established in the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework which also presents 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 the implementation of the
Roadmap.
The OLS will also support the governance of the Official Languages Program through various mechanisms and committees: the Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages, the Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages Executive Committee, and the Official Languages Program Interdepartmental Coordination Steering Committee.
Planning Highlights:
2012-13 is the last year of the Roadmap’s implementation. A number of initiatives, such as the “Youth Initiative” from Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s study and the “Expanding Universities' Access to Language Learning” initiative from the Canada School of Public Service, are already wrapped up, whereas a
large number of other initiatives are on their way to completion.
As planned, in 2012-13, the individual summative evaluations of the Roadmap’s initiatives will be finalized. They are conducted separately by each partner’s evaluation unit. It is also planned that the horizontal summative evaluation of the Roadmap, started in 2012-13 by Canadian Heritage’s Office of the Chief Audit Evaluation Executive, will be finalized in 2012-13.
In 2012-13, preparing the follow-up to the Roadmap is continuing in order to support the development and linguistic vitality of official-language minority communities and the promotion of official languages.
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.

Start date: December 2003
End date: March 2011
Description: Trans Canada Trail/Sentier transcanadien leads an initiative, based on widespread voluntary support, to establish a national recreational trail that runs through every Canadian province and territory, linking hundreds of communities. The federal grant for this project is used solely to establish a fund to achieve the following objectives: to administer a program of grants to community-based groups in support of trail-building capital projects (thereby leveraging additional support from other sources); to provide planning for and coordinate development of the Trail; and to establish Trail Pavilions and signage along the route.
The Trail will connect Canadians from all regions of the country with each other, their environment, and Canada’s cultural and natural diversity.Total Funding | Prior Years’ Funding | Planned Funding 2012-13 |

Summary of annual plans of recipient:
The impact of the one-year extension of the grant to TCT has been significant. During 2010-11, the organization undertook a critical analysis of trail development in different regions. This led to the development and implementation of a Connection Plan which permitted revisions to the methods used to connect the Trail sections. The Connection Plan will concentrate efforts on the goal of
completing the Trail by 2017.
A donation of ad space and print ad design resulted in ten ads appearing in the Globe and Mail in 2010-11 to highlight different sections of the Trans Canada Trail and introduce Canadians across the country to the Trail initiative. These donations will continue annually until 2017.
During this period, TCT negotiated a new contribution agreement with the Government of Canada. The Government will invest a further $10 million through Parks Canada.
The 2010-15 TCT Strategic Plan will continue to guide actions around four pillars: Generate Funding, Build Reputation, Facilitate Trail Building and Promote the Benefits of the Trail.Link recipient’s site: http://www.tctrail.ca/

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.
