| Report: | A-2021-028 |
| Report Date: | June 18, 2021 |
| Public Body: | Town of Paradise |
| Summary: | The Complainant submitted an access to information request to the Town of Paradise under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 (“ATIPPA, 2015”) seeking records as well as answers to several questions regarding the Town’s finances and decisions taken by the Town. The Town responded by providing records and answering most questions posed in the access to information request. However, several records were not provided and some questions remained, in the view of the Complainant, unanswered. The Commissioner recommended that the Town provide records from its assessment rolls, while continuing to withhold tax information. The Commissioner also concluded that some information sought by the Complainant was outside of the scope of his access to information request as it was submitted to the Town. |
