The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) applies to local government institutions, including municipalities, police services boards, school boards, conservation authorities, boards of health and transit commissions.

The act gives individuals the right to request access to municipal government information, including most general records and records containing their own personal information. More details are provided in “Mini Guide to FOI”.
