Access to Information
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy
Lac Ste. Anne County came under the provincial Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act on October 1, 1995. The FOIP Act aims to strike a balance between the public's right to know and the individual's right to privacy with regard to records held by the County.
If you would like to make a request for information under the FOIP Act, complete the Request to Access to Information form and return it to David Lawrence, Human Resources Manager and County FOIP Coordinator at 780.785.3411 (toll-free 1.866.880.5722) or [email protected].
Requests for Information
If you are making a request for general information, the initial fee is $25. Additional fees may be charged for processing costs.
The FOIP Act requires public bodies to respond within 30 calendar days of receiving your request. The response will either provide the requested information or explain why the information is not being disclosed. In the case of a request for correction of personal information, the response will either state the correction has been made, or say the record has not been corrected but it has been annotated. The 30-day deadline may be extended if, for example, large volumes of records are involved or if third parties need to be consulted.
If you are not sure if your request falls under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, please do not hesitate to contact the FOIP Coordinator at 780.785.3411 (toll-free 1.866.880.5722) or [email protected].
