The Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP) provides individuals with a right of access to records held by public bodies and specifies limited exceptions to that right of access.

The Act prevents unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information.

The ATIPP Act also gives individuals the right to access the personal information public bodies have about them and to request corrections to that information.

In many cases, it is not necessary to apply under the ATIPP Act to obtain information. To request information that is routinely disclosed to the public call or visit the appropriate government office.

The position of Manager of Access to Information and Privacy is located in the Department of Executive and Intergovernmental Affairs.
