Making a Request for Access to Information
The Town of Wasaga Beach promotes open government and encourages the routine disclosure of information to the public without requiring a formal Freedom of Information (FOI) request under Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).
If you require access to information held by the Town of Wasaga Beach, contact the department directly that holds the records. If the information is not directly available through the department, a written formal Freedom of Information (FOI) request can be made under MFIPPA.
The Town protects the privacy of individuals with respect to the personal information it collects and maintains.
As per Section 45 of The Act, it provides for a mandatory $5 application fee which must accompany each request for information. If multiple property addresses are requested, we will require a separate application form and application fee for each address.
Requests cannot be initiated until the $5 fee is received. The $5 application fee cannot be waived and is non-refundable.
Additional fees may be charged under section 45 of the Act. Please see below for the breakdown of fees.
