Your Information Rights
Under the BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, RSBC 1996, c. 165, any person has the right to access to records in the custody or under the control of the Village or any other public body, except for records which are exempted from disclosure under Division 2 of the Act. However, if the information exempted from disclosure can reasonably be severed from a record, an applicant has the right of access to the remainder of the record.
If research to locate requested records takes longer than three hours, the fourth and subsequent hours are subject to the payment of a fee. Fees may also apply for creating, copying, and delivering records.
