2021 Operating Forecast Q3
The Operating Fund is anticipated to result in a net deficit of $5.55 million due to COVID-19, which is directly attributed to a 44.15% decline in non-tax revenues.
The impact has been mitigated through measures implemented by management and funding support from the Federal and Province governments through the Safe Restart and Provincial COVID-19 Recovery funding program.
Staff anticipate the combination of the announced 2021 funding of $7.3 million as well as $2.578 million unused funding from 2020 will provide the necessary relief to mitigate the currently anticipated deficit, the remaining $4.4M of the funding will be carryforward and available for any COVID-19 related pressures in 2022.
