Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
This act applies to local government institutions, including municipalities; police services boards, school boards, conservation authorities, boards of health and transit commissions. It requires that local government institutions protect the privacy of an individual’s personal information existing in government records. It also gives you the right to request access to municipal government information, including records, containing your personal information.
As a resident, there are methods available to request information informally without creating an official MFIPPA request. The Township recommends that residents approach staff members to discuss any request for information prior to filing a formal request for information.
