Horizontal summative evaluation of the government of Canada's investment in the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games : Évaluation horizontale sommative de l'investissement du gouvernement du Canada dans les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques d'hiver de 2010

Canadian Heritage was the lead department coordinating the federal participation in 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (the 2010 Games) held in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia in February and March 2010 respectively, with the exception of Games Security and Public Safety. The 2010 Federal Secretariat, housed at Canadian Heritage, was responsible to ensure timely advice for decision makers, provide leadership, expertise, and coordination for Essential Federal Service departments and as well as 16 other departments and agencies that were leveraging the 2010 Games to bring benefits to Canadians. This report presents key findings from the horizontal evaluation of the Government of Canada contribution towards the activities undertaken by federal departments and agencies responsible for delivering Essential Federal Services and strategic investments, excluding Games Security and Public Safety.
