Transport Canada (TC) is modernizing and standardizing its incident management capability across the department. One of the ways it is doing this is by implementing a standardized incident management methodology designed to enable effective, efficient, and interoperable response to potential all-hazard emergency events affecting Canada’s transportation system.
The TC’s Emergency Management program is leading this modernization through building strong partnerships, creating good situational awareness, and using a systems approach to develop emergency management policies, processes and tools that align and support departmental and whole-of-government response activities. In collaboration with TC’s Multimodal Integrated Technical Training branch, the TC’s Emergency Management program is striving to ensure TC personnel receive the individual and collective TC Incident Management System (IMS) training required to perform their incident response duties, and to be able to provide surge capacity staffing to our emergency management partners. Exercises are essential for ensuring that TC personnel understand the concepts and practice their roles in a safe environment.
The objective is to hire a Contractor to develop and deliver TC IMS discussion-based exercises, virtually for hybrid audiences. These exercises will be conducted with TC personnel across Canada within the initial period of the contract.
