We promote open government by operating in a manner that fosters and supports the principles of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) provides you the right to access municipal records with certain limitations and exemptions. The Act requires municipalities to protect personal information and how to collect, retain, use, disclose and dispose of that information. The result is a balance between access to information and protection of personal privacy.

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. |
