Access to records held by the City of Toronto is regulated by the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). The public has a right to see most City records, and to get copies of them (fees for photocopying may apply). There are some exceptions to public access.
Records are made available in numerous ways:
- Routine disclosure: Divisions and program areas automatically make information available to the public when it is requested, and by publishing it online or in a printed form such as brochures and reports.
- Formal request: When a division or program area denies a request for information, a formal freedom of information request can be made through the City Clerk’s Office, Corporate Access and Privacy.
- By appeal: If a freedom of information request is denied by the City, the decision can be appealed to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.
