MUNICIPAL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND
PROTECTION OF PRIVACY |
| The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) came into effect on January 1, 1991.
It applies to all Ontario municipalities as well as local boards, agencies and commissions, including school boards and police services. |
| The Act provides the right of public to access municipal records, subject to certain limitations and exemptions, and the right to access
one’s own personal information and to correct it if it is inexact, ambiguous or incomplete. The Act further requires municipalities to
protect personal information by imposing protection of privacy requirements that govern the collection, retention, use, disclosure and
disposal of information. |
| The end result is a balance between both access to information and protection of personal privacy. |
| The Town of Innisfil promotes open government by operating in a manner that fosters and supports the principles of the Municipal Freedom
of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. |
| If you are interested in obtaining access to information or records of the municipality, you are first encouraged to contact the
Town of Innisfil Administration offices to see if the records are considered routine disclosure. |
| If the records are not subject to routine disclosure, you will be directed to make a formal request in accordance with the Municipal
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The following process applies to formal requests: |
1) Obtain an Access/Correction Request Form. Forms are available:
a. for download from the Town of Innisfil website
b. by calling the Town Administration offices
c. by visiting the Customer Service Department of the Town
2) Complete the Access/Correction Request Form and submit your Request Form to the Town of Innisfil.
3) Pay the $5.00 application fee (prescribed by the Act) at the time you submit your request. If paying by cheque,
please ensure that the cheque is made payable to the Town of Innisfil. |
| The municipality has 30 days in which to respond to a request. |
