| Report: | A-2023-024 |
| Report Date: | May 9, 2023 |
| Public Body: | Town of Musgrave Harbour |
| Summary: | The Town of Musgrave Harbour sent the Complainant a copy of an investigation report, with redactions under section 40 to which the Complainant objected. The Town did not respond to the notification of the complaint, to numerous communications from our Office, or to a Summons. The Commissioner concluded that the redactions were mainly unjustified and recommended disclosure of the information. The Commissioner also concluded that the Town had failed to meet its responsibilities to the Complainant and to this Office under various provisions of the Act, and recommended that the Town review its records management policies and procedures, create access to information policies and procedures, seek additional support as available, maintain communication with applicants and with this Office, and comply with its statutory duties in the future. |
