With the allocation of groups and the schedule, the teams would be formally invited to make their way to Canada, specifically to Quebec City if in Group A or Halifax for Group B. Security arrangements would begin being prepared.

 

[Owen]

Security arrangements would begin to be prepared, with the competition being spread across Quebec City and Halifax there would be distinctive areas of operations. The Service de police de la Ville de Quebec would be in charge of security operations in and around the Colisee Pepsi arena located in the Lairet area of Quebec and the Halifax Regional Police would be in charge of security operations in and around the Scotiabank Centre located in the heart of Downtown Halifax. Those police would provide primary frontline duties such as foot patrols and vehicle patrols around the stadium, including scanning bags and operating metal detectors. They would also generally remain vigilant for suspicious activity and checking numerous spots for the possibility of devices being planted (bins, etc). Concrete barriers and bollards would also be put in place around stadium entrances and open areas to mitigate vehicle attacks. The Service de protection contre les incendies de Quebec and Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency would also be on standby with a few units to provide the arenas with firefighters and paramedics.

The secondary line of duty would be provided by the Surete du Quebec in Quebec City and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Halifax, being their respective provincial police forces. They would provide each arena with counter-terrorism officers and other specialised abilities such as air and water support on standby along with general intelligence collection about possible attacks.
