Project Records
In carrying out its mandate, the Department generates and receives a large volume of information and correspondence related to work projects. These projects include property acquisition, disposal, expropriation and management; building, highway and marine construction, repair and demolition; dredging services and fleet management; and the provision of associated research, development and consulting services.

Included in this material are often found the personal views and opinions of individuals; evaluations of contractors' and consultants' performance; financial information relating to the management of projects; and any other correspondence associated with specific projects. The retention periods associated with this class of personal information are controlled by the records schedules of the general subject files in which they are stored.

Project records are organized by location. Consequently, access to personal information in project records requires the individual to provide the location of a specific project as well as the nature of the project.
