The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act is provincial legislation that provides the public with a right of access to government records and protects personal privacy by prohibiting the unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information by public bodies.
The District's Freedom of Information Bylaw provides for the District's administration of FOIPPA, and it outlines associated fees to be paid under S.75 of the Act.
