The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act has been in effect since January 1, 1991. This legislation regulates and controls the information that is made available to the public. The Act not only provides rights to the public to gain access to Municipal records, but also protects the privacy of individuals. There is a general right of access to records under MFIPPA, but this right is subject to the application of exemptions that may apply to records.
