Summary of annual plans of recipient: The NAAF is a nationally registered non-profit organization devoted to excellence and to providing the tools necessary for Aboriginal youth to achieve brighter futures. NAAF encourages and empowers Aboriginal youth by providing important career planning information, by connecting youth with industry and by providing financial support for post-secondary studies in all disciplines.

The objectives of the NAAF are to:

- Actively assist Aboriginal peoples by providing financial resources that will allow them to pursue further education and professional development.

- Encourage young Aboriginal peoples to discover their talents and realize their potential by creating awareness of the full spectrum of career development possibilities in all areas.

- Encourage the retention and cultivation of language and culture by financially supporting Aboriginal organizations and initiatives related to cultural preservation.

- Instill pride—individually and collectively—in the Aboriginal community.

- Identify and honour the exemplary achievements of Aboriginal peoples in all areas of endeavour so that their accomplishments can serve as inspiration to young people.

- Raise the Canadian public's awareness of the contributions that First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples have made to Canada.

The multi-year agreement enables the NAAF to leverage resources; to recognize excellence and role models in Aboriginal communities; to inform and motivate youth regarding potential career options; and to provide Aboriginal youth with bursary and scholarship awards to achieve brighter futures and support Aboriginal cultural projects. The target populations for NAAF Programs are First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Canada.

Scholarships and Youth Initiatives
Scholarships and youth initiatives include the NAAF's Blueprint for the Future (BFF) activities—scholarships and bursaries awarded through the Education Program. The BFF is a series of one-day career fairs that provide Aboriginal high-school students valuable resources and information on career opportunities while promoting education as significant to labour market participation. Events are held across the country.

More than 30,000 Aboriginal students from across the country have attended BFF career fairs over the event's 10-year history. Students across Canada have had the opportunity to meet experts in their fields, learn about individual career options, the education and training required for those options, and employment trends in these areas. Planned career fairs include:

- In Fiscal Year 2009–2010: Prince Rupert, BC and St. John's, NL (subject to confirmation)

The NAAF's Education Program encompasses the Post-Secondary Scholarship Program, which disburses approximately $2M a year to First Nations, Inuit and Métis students across Canada. NAAF scholarships cover three categories: Fine Arts and Cultural Projects; Health Careers; and Post-Secondary Education.

The NAAF will support post-secondary studies that are a minimum of two academic years at an accredited university, college or CEGEP for the pursuit of a certificate, diploma or degree. An exception is made for one-year upgrading or certification programs after the completion of a Bachelor's Degree, or specialization certificates of one year if an applicant has an existing diploma or degree. Study outside of Canada is eligible for jury consideration when the student is enrolled in graduate studies towards Master's or PhD degrees.

The NAAF monitors and tracks students who receive bursary and scholarship awards. On an annual basis, students are asked to complete questionnaires regarding their current studies and future plans. A final report is prepared annually.

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 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 2010 Games Operating Trust Society will oversee and manage this Trust until an agreed-upon future date or until the end of the Monarchy.

Sustainable social, economic, cultural and sports benefits for Canadians are the overall strategic goals for hosting the Olympic Games. Beyond maintaining and operating the three principle venues, the 2010 Games Operating Trust will provide the needed funding to continue high-performance programming for Canadian athletes at these venues and elsewhere in Canada.

Table 4: Horizontal Initiatives

  • 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games
  • Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality 2008-2013: Acting for the Future

Name of Horizontal Initiative: 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games--Delivering on our Commitments

Name of lead department(s): Department of Canadian Heritage

Lead department program activity: Sport

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2003–2004

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: March 31, 2012

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $582.865M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): To monitor and report on the Government of Canada's contribution to the 2010 Winter Games, which engage Canadians from across the country, reflect Canadian values and priorities in their planning, delivery, and international profile, and promote opportunities to advance public policy goals and to make strategic investments that support long-term tangible economic benefits and sport, social, cultural and environmental legacies for all Canadians (www.pch.gc.ca).

The Government of Canada is a key partner in the 2010 Winter Games. The 2010 Federal Secretariat within the Department of Canadian Heritage works horizontally to support and promote federal engagement in the planning and delivery of the Games, which includes providing high-quality essential federal services as well as capital and legacy funding. Fifteen federal Departments are providing services deemed essential for conducting successful Games. Therefore these departments, whether receiving incremental funding for this purpose or supporting the services from their A-base, are accountable for delivering essential federal services under the Multi-Party Agreement signed in 2002. The 2010 Federal Secretariat works with its partners and stakeholders to leverage the Games as an opportunity to advance public policy objectives, establish lasting legacies, and derive maximum benefit for all Canadians (www.canada2010.gc.ca).

Canadian Heritage is the lead department for federal participation in support of the 2010 Winter Games with the exception of Games Security and Public Safety. In October 2007 the Prime Minister appointed Ward Elcock as the Coordinator for the 2010 Olympic and G8 Security and established an office within the Privy Council Office.  As a result of this appointment, the RCMP became the lead coordinating Department to develop a Horizontal RMAF for Games Security and Public Safety collectively with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Department of National Defence (DND), Industry Canada (IC), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Public Safety Canada (PS), Transport Canada (TC), Health Canada (HC), Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Canada Post and Privy Council Office (PCO).

Shared outcome(s): There are three levels of shared outcomes as identified below:

  • Final Outcomes
    • Sport, economic, social and cultural legacies are established for the benefit of all Canadians;
    • Canadian excellence and values are promoted domestically and internationally; and
    • Canada is recognized as a capable and inclusive host.
  • Intermediate Outcomes
    • Pan-Canadian engagement in sport, economic, social and cultural activities related to the 2010 Winter Games;
    • Enhance Canada's domestic and international profile; and
    • Canadians and international participants experience safe and high-quality games.
  • Immediate Outcomes
    • Leverage 2010 Winter Games to advance existing federal priorities;
    • Positive exposure and heightened recognition of the Government of Canada as a key partner in the 2010 Winter Games; and
    • Successful delivery of mandated essential federal services.

Governance structure(s):

2010 Federal Games Secretariat
Representative Working Group (RWG)

The 2010 Federal Secretariat, under the leadership of the Deputy Minister of Canadian Heritage, supports the Framework for Federal Coordination (FFC). The FCC is the primary mechanism for promoting horizontal management of the Winter Games. This governance structure consists of three levels:

  • A Deputy Ministers and Heads of Agency Coordination Committee that facilitates interdepartmental and intergovernmental consultation and coordination of Games-related issues and commitments;
  • An Assistant Deputy Minister-level Representative Working Group (RWG) that reports on the progress of essential federal service delivery; and,
  • Working-level Issue Clusters that support intergovernmental coordination and information sharing.
In addition, an Essential Federal Services Committee (EFS Committee) has been established under the authority of the RWG to support, promote, coordinate and monitor seamless planning of essential federal services.

Planning Highlights:

Fiscal year 2010–2011 is the sunset period of this Horizontal Initiative.  Therefore, all activities will be related to the reporting requirement since Departments' specific expected results were achieved leading up to and during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The Government of Canada will fulfill its evaluation and reporting requirements to Canadians highlighting the sport, economic, social and cultural benefits and legacies.

Name of Horizontal Initiative: Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality 2008-2013: Acting for the Future

Name of lead department(s): 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): $1,110.10M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality 2008–2013: Acting for the Future (Roadmap) is a Government of Canada policy statement that includes a number of initiatives to strengthen and promote linguistic duality. Thirteen 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.

Intermediate outcomes:

  • Enhanced capacity of Canadians (English‑speaking in Quebec and French-speaking across Canada) to live and work in vibrant communities in their 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.

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(s):

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 assigned to the OLS by the partners through the development of 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 relevant operational issues concerning its horizontal implementation. The OLS also supports 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, and 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 it oversees the evaluation of the Roadmap. During CADMOL meetings, departments with 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 mandates 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 2010–2011, the implementation of the Roadmap continues in line with the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework released in September 2009. The coordination of the implementation is facilitated by the formal governance structure currently 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 2010–2011. Monitoring the implementation of risk mitigation strategies and the performance measurement strategy is scheduled for 2010–2011. To promote information sharing, dialogue events are also planned with key stakeholders.
