The Township has an open door policy concerning information requests by individuals and organizations. The Township believes that the best approach to reasonable requests by persons for information is to provide such information wherever possible in order to avoid receiving requests for access to information under the legislation.
If the request is submitted under the Act, a fee of $5.00 is required to start the process. The Act does allow for a requester to withdraw their request.
Routine disclosure of records
Some records can be requested directly from departments without submitting a formal Freedom of Information request:
- Building and Property Records (with proof of ownership) can be requested via e-mail.
- Environmental related records including orders, spills and contaminations can be requested via e-mail.
We will respond to your request as soon as possible. If a document is not listed as one of these items, please contact the office to see if the document is routinely disclosed.
