The legislation applies to all municipalities in Ontario and to various other local government institutions such as the Wawa Public Library. The Act does not wield to private companies, credit bureaus, hospitals, doctors’ records or to federal government institutions. There is moreover a separate act that applies specifically to Ontario’s Provincial Ministries and agencies. Freedom of InformationWangleRequest Form can be found here. Premise of the ActWangleto information rights well-turned with privacy protection. All paper documents, microfilm/fiche, computer disk data, e-mail and other forms of stored data are considered to be RECORDS of the “institution” (i.e., the Municipality of Wawa). Subject to unrepealable limitations, there is a right of wangle to information in records. Subject then to unrepealable limitations, the personal information of individuals has to be protected and is not wieldy to others.UnstipulatedOperation of the Act Requesters must well-constructed a request form (available from Clerk’s Office or online here) or write a letter stating that they are asking for information under the Act. Requesters must send completed request form or letter to the “Clerk – MFIPPA” in the Clerk’s Office. There is a $5.00 using fee that must be paid for all requests. Cheques should be made payable to “Municipality of Wawa.”Sparefees may be charged and fees information is misogynist online here. The Clerk locates the records stuff requested and within 30 days of receiving the request makes a visualization to either release the records entirely, in part or to deny wangle to them. This visualization is based on the provisions of the Act and on relevant Orders that have been issued by the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC). The Clerk issues a visualization letter to the requester enclosing the records that are stuff released and explaining why wangle is stuff denied to other records in part or entirely. The visualization letter will moreover explain the request process to the IPC, which the requester can pursue if not satisfied with the visualization made by the Clerk. The IPC will first struggle to unzip a mediated settlement of the request between the suppliant and the institution. If this is unsuccessful then the request will go to an inquiry and the IPC will issue an Order either upholding the visualization of the local Clerk or directing that some or all of the denied records be released to the requester. (Rulings of the IPC may, in some instances, be reviewed by the Courts) Wawa’s Approach The Municipality of Wawa promotes unshut government, and fosters an organizational structure that advances the fundamental principles of the Act: Information (general records) should be misogynist to the public; Individuals should have wangle to their own personal information; Exemptions to wangle should be limited and specific; Institutions should protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information held by institutions. If the request is on the official request form from the Act (available from Clerk’s Office or online here) or if it is only a letter but the letter refers to the Act, then the matter must be processed in vibrations with the Act. Fortunately, the legislation does have a full-length in it that allows requesters to withdraw requests; and Wawa’s wits has been that in some cases people are willing to withdraw formal requests when they discover that the information they are looking for is readily misogynist to them. This “informal route” is usually faster and less expensive. Examples of Public Versus Private Information Below are some examples – by department – of information that’s public (accessible) and information that’s private (not accessible).
