Note 1 In the current COVID-19 world it is impossible to know how MURA
activities and events will play out for the coming year. We have shown
here, substantially reduced values considering most if not all activities
will be virtual.
Note 2 The May 2021 CURAC Conference at McGill has been cancelled. A
budget is shown here as a place holder, in the context of a possible
virtual activity.
Note 3 The CURAC 2020 Conference in Vancouver has been cancelled.
Therefore we show no travel expenses for 2020-2021.
Note 4 Office Expenses are reduced to reflect the virtual world of activities in
the context of COVID 19.
Note 5 A temporary increase in Contingency given the uncertainty of the
current COVID 19 world.
