The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) requires that municipalities protect an individual's personal information existing in government records. The Act also gives you the right to request access to your personal information in these records.
Accessing Information
Some information and records require you to submit a formal written request for access to this information under the MFIPPA. Contact us to find out if the information you want requires a formal written request or if it is already readily available.
Please submit a letter to the Clerk outlining what information you are looking for and submit it along with a $5 application fee to the Township Office.
We will process your request within 30 days of receiving the request. If the request is going to take longer, we will advise you about the time extension required.
Fees
Depending on the type of request, you may need to pay for the additional cost of preparing the records. This may include search time and photocopying, as set out in the Act. We will provide you with a written cost estimate before processing your request. If the total amount is over $100, we may require a deposit to process your request.
You must pay all fees before we will release the records.
