59 26TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE ...continued THE STRATEGY Prevent, Detect, Deny and Respond Integrated Response – Incident Abroad For a terrorist or security related incident abroad, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, supported by DFAIT, leads Canada’s response. The Canadian response to an incident will vary depending on the nature of the incident. It might include the provision of consular assistance to Canadians overseas; financial or physical aid; or deployments of experts from the federal national security community. Major Events Ad hoc working groups plan and prepare for the security aspects of major events, such as the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia and the 2010 G8/G20 summits in Ontario. These usually involve the different levels of government affected by the event, and response arrangements are tailored to the particular event in question. In addition, Health Canada is mandated to provide services to support the overall security objectives for major international events, specifically in the areas of health and safety of federal government employees, surveillance and response to radiological nuclear threats, and support to first responders in the event of a CBRNE event or disease outbreak.
