Freedom of Information

The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) gives you the right to ask for access to general municipal government information. This Act applies to all municipalities, local agencies, boards and commissions, including school boards, public utilities, transit and police commissions, fire departments, and conservation authorities. MFIPPA determines what information is made available to the public and how it is made available.

The two main purposes of MFIPPA are:

  1. To provide the right of access to information held by institutions, subject to limited and specific exemptions.
  2. To protect the privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information held by government institutions.

You may request access to general records or personal information (information about yourself), or request a correction to personal information.

How to request access to information:

Download an access request form from the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario website and submit the completed form by email, or send an email that includes your name, full contact details, and a clear overview of your request. All requests and questions about Freedom of Information access through Saugeen Conservation should be forwarded to the attention of the Freedom of Information Coordinator at the details below.

If you are requesting information about yourself, your request is considered a 'personal information request'. All other requests for information, whether about a person other than yourself, or about a government program or activity, are considered 'general information requests'. Additional fees may apply to requests for general information.

Fees:

Application Fee: $5.00 to be paid when submitting a request. The Application fee is mandatory and not subject to waiver.

  • Search Time: $7.50 per 15 minutes required to search and retrieve records. This does not include time to review files.
  • Record Preparation: $7.50 per 15 minutes required to prepare records for release. Preparation may include scanning or severing records.
