| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to Memorial for records related to swimming pool chemicals purchased for the Aquarena, which is part of the Memorial University Recreation Complex Inc. (MURC). Memorial did not provide any records to the Complainant, stating MURC was not a public body as defined by ATIPPA, 2015 and that, in any case, the records were not in Memorial’s custody or control. The Complainant responded by filing a complaint with this Office. After review of submissions, the Commissioner concluded ATIPPA, 2015 does not apply to the MURC and that the requested records were not in Memorial’s custody or control. |
