Freedom of Information

We have adopted a policy whereby certain records are available without the need for a formal request made under MFIPPA. Please refer to the Routine Disclosure and Active Dissemination and MFIPPA Guidelines Policy for the types of records available and fees associated with the request.

Contact the Clerk's Office before making a formal request to see if the records are available for disclosure.

Complete and submit the Freedom of Information Request Form in person to the Municipal Office during regular office hours or by mail. A $5.00 application fee is required.

How do I obtain the request form?

You must submit a $5.00 application fee with the form. Depending on the request, additional fees may apply as per Section 45 of the Act.

Additional fees are as follows:

The Municipality has 30 days after receiving the complete request (including the $5.00 application fee) to respond. The Act allows for additional time depending on the size and scope of the request.
