APPENDIX A – Summary of Capital Project Variances – May 31, 2020

Listed below is a summary by Department/Program as to the status of each capital project portfolio. Projects with any projected final variance are detailed in a table within the respective Department/Program summary.

Project explanations denoted with “Project surplus/deficit” are projects that are in a position to be closed and the variance is likely to materialize. Those denoted with “Anticipated surplus/deficit” are projects that are still ongoing and not completed, as such the preliminary variance is merely an estimate which may fluctuate significantly before the project is complete. Only projects with ‘Project surplus/deficit” will have recommendations on how to address the deficit or surplus.
