Freedom of Information and Privacy of Personal Information

The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) (the "Act") applies to:

  • Municipalities
  • Local boards
  • Agencies
  • Commissions

The Act requires that government institutions give people the right to access certain general records and their own personal information, but there are some exemptions.

The Act also gives people the right to ask for corrections to their own personal information. These requests for information are Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

The MFIPPA Coordinator for the Region is the Regional Clerk. They are responsible for managing MFIPPA duties given to Regional staff.

For more information about the policies and procedures around MFIPPA, please visit the Region of Durham website.
