Printing Unit Reduction Target
| Performance Measure | RPP | DPR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target Status | |||
| Ratio of departmental office employees to printing units at the end of the given fiscal year, where building occupancy levels, security considerations and space configuration allow. | FY 2011–12 | 8:1 | 5:1 |
| FY 2012–13 | 8:1 | ||
| FY 2013–14 | 8:1 | ||
Strategies and/or Comments
- CanNor has four offices: a headquarters and regional office in Iqaluit, Nunavut; a regional office in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; another regional office in Whitehorse, Yukon; and a liaison office in Ottawa, Ontario. Currently, offices are equipped with an average of one printing unit for approximately 5 people. The ratio of 8:1 will be reached either through staffing to full complement or reducing the number of printers.
Green Meetings Target
| Performance Measure | RPP | DPR |
|---|---|---|
| Target Status | ||
| CanNor used green meeting guides. | 100% | 100% |
Strategies and/or Comments
- CanNor offices are distributed across more than 40 percent of Canada's land mass. The majority of Agency meetings are conducted by teleconference and by using electronic media. This reduces paper use as well as reduces greenhouse gases that might be generated in transporting employees to face-to-face meeting. Through a Memorandum of Understanding between CanNor and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), the Agency avails itself of green meeting services and guides produced by AANDC.

| Performance Measure | RPP | DPR |

| All informatics procurement followed PWGSC green procurement instruments where not in contradiction with land claims objectives. | 100% | 100% |
Strategies and/or Comments
- CanNor conducted all informatics procurement using PWGSC tools and instruments, which are greened through the PWGSC Commodity Management Framework.
- In some cases, the use of these instruments may contradict the objectives of comprehensive land claims agreements in communities where CanNor has offices. In these instances, CanNor determined how to meet the principles of green procurement while responding to the objectives of these agreements.
| Performance Measure | RPP | DPR |
|---|---|---|
| Target Status | ||
| 75% shared-use equipment was multifunction. | 75% | 50% |
Strategies and/or Comments
- Multifunction machines significantly reduce production and end-of-life waste created in the production of office equipment. In 2011–12, CanNor has ensured that approximately 50% of shared-use office equipment is multifunctional. As existing shared-use equipment is replaced, efforts will be made to replace equipment with multifunctional devices.
8.11 As of April 1, 2011, each department will establish SMART targets for training, employee performance evaluations, and management processes and controls, as they pertain to procurement decision-making.
