Footnotes:

  1. This Inventory lists projects in Alberta, valued at $5 million or greater, that have recently been completed, are currently under construction, or are proposed to start construction within two years. Not all projects over this threshold are listed, due to reasons of confidentiality and/or due to information not being available at the time of printing.
