What it does
The Buildings and Equipment program aims at maintaining the Agency’s real property portfolio in good state of repair, capable of supporting a safe, functional working environment for border services officers, Agency staff and members of the travelling public. The Program includes land and marine Ports of Entry (POE); the CBSA College located in Rigaud (Quebec), the immigration holding centers currently being constructed in Laval (QC) and Surrey (BC) and staff housing at various remote POE locations. Additionally, the Program ensures the provision of equipment at legislated facilities, where owner-operators must provide space for CBSA operations. The Program is also responsible for the procurement, life cycle management and disposal of specialized equipment including fleet, and for supporting the delivery of sustainable development and environmental compliance objectives.
