Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre

Purpose

The objective of this Project is to enhance Canadian wildfire response capacity by developing national type 2 firefighter standards, modernizing and integrating data management systems for resource sharing, convert existing classroom material for the basic firefighter crewmember course to a common digital format following CIFFC training standards, and facilitating the exchange of knowledge from outgoing senior staff. As well as to have one national level contract for Business Analyst services for the Provincial/Territorial Information Management Information Technology (IM/IT) requirements gathering in support of the Data Integration Project and the Canadian Wildland Fire Information Framework (CWFIF) Project. Business Analysts will be tasked with collecting business requirements from all Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre member agencies (with the exception of GNWT and Parks Canada which were completed as a pilot project 2019/2020), and to prepare business requirements documentation. The process will be to gather and analyze the business requirements for the Provinces/Territories and compile these into a cohesive set of requirements to guide the development of the Framework and associated services.
