Access to Information

If you are seeking information, the information can usually be provided routinely.  To find out if the information you want is routinely available, contact the Town.  If the information you seek is not routinely available, you will be directed to make a formal request for information under the Act.

The Majority of information held by the Town of Regina Beach can be accessed through the normal release of information by staff, without using the Act.  Examples of this include: answers to questions related to departmental operations, open agendas, open minutes, bylaws, policies and procedures.

You may submit a Municipal Information Request for records to the municipality by completing the form below.  A fee of $20 must accompany the request (additional fees may apply).

One of the purposes of The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP) is to ensure that local authorities are transparent and accountable to the public. Section 5 of LA FOIP provides individuals with the right to access records in the possession or under the control of a local authority.

LA FOIP provides access rights to "records that are in the possession or under the control" of the municipality with limited exceptions. If access to a record is refused or the decision of the municipality is unsatisfactory, the Information and Privacy Commissioner can be asked to review the decision.
