Annual Highlights
  1. COVID-19 Pandemic Response and Recovery Efforts
    CATSA collaborated with the Government of Canada, screening contractors, airport authorities and airlines to ensure safety measures were in place during the second year of the pandemic. Such measures included: temperature screening of passengers, CATSA's vaccination verification program for passengers and non-passengers, continued enhanced sanitization procedures, deployment of acrylic barriers at airports, and personal protective equipment for CATSA staff and screening officers.
     
  2.  Strengthening Indigenous Engagement and Awareness
    CATSA aims to align with Call to Action 57 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which calls upon the Government of Canada to educate public servants on the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples. CATSA is collaborating with an Indigenous training firm to deliver Indigenous cultural awareness learning to screening officers and supervisors, and CATSA employees.
     
  3.  Adapting the Workplace for a Post-pandemic Landscape
    To facilitate a flexible workplace, improvements were made to CATSA's communications tools, telework policies, and workspace. All of these measures will contribute to the transition to a hybrid workplace in 2022/23.
     
  4.  NPS-Vehicle Screening
    Due to the lower traffic at smaller checkpoints, CATSA took the opportunity to conduct 100% screening at select NPS vehicle (NPS-V) checkpoints. This allowed CATSA to garner invaluable lessons applicable to future 100% screening at all NPS-V checkpoints.
     
  5.  FBS at Primary
    CATSA completed the relocation of FBS to a primary screening position at several airports in Canada.
     
  6.  Informing the Future and Data Sharing
    CATSA has deployed several analytical models to help the organization prepare for the aviation industry's recovery from the pandemic, and has continued to enhance data sharing with key stakeholders.
