Freedom of Information

The Township of Wilmot follows the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) to ensure transparency and protect your privacy.

About MFIPPA

The purpose of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) is to make sure that the public has access to information about their municipal government and about themselves or their property if that information is kept by the municipality.

MIFPPA also ensures that private information about a person or property that should stay private is kept private. The Township routinely collects information for various reasons but only uses it for specific purposes.

Freedom of Information Requests

Anyone wishing to obtain information kept by the Township should contact the Legislative Services Division. If a Freedom of Information Request is required, you will need to complete an FOI Request Form, submit it to the Legislative Services Division and pay a $5 fee.

Research Requests

Students or other people conducting research for various purposes may need to fill out an Access for Research Request Form. Please contact the Legislative Services Division to ensure that form is appropriate.

If you are not satisfied with the response you receive to your request, you may contact the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) to have the request and response investigated.
