Submitting an Access to Information Form

Iv records 01

The Government of Alberta's Access to Information Act allows you the right of access to:

  • non-personal records held by the MD
  • personal records about yourself

Disclosure of all information in the possession of the Municipal District of Lesser Slave River No. 124 (“the MD”) is subject to Access to Information Act (ATIA) and Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) legislation.

To request general information about MD business or personal information about you, submit the access to information request form. 

The MD has 30 business days to respond to initial ATI requests. The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) may permit additional time if required (e.g., to contact third parties or to compile a large volume of requested documents).

Requests for General Information

If you are asking for general information:

  • Describe what you are looking for in detail
  • Include file numbers and dates where possible
  • Sign the form
  • Include a $25 application fee
  • Mail, email, or deliver in person to the MD Administration Office in Slave Lake or Flatbush

Processing your request begins when the application fee is received. If the total cost for completing your request is estimated to be greater than $150, you will be notified and asked to pay a 50% deposit. Processing the request is suspended until the deposit is received.

When the request is completed, you will be notified of the actual costs and will be required to pay any outstanding balance before your records are provided to you.

Requests for Personal Information

To request personal information:

  • Describe the information about yourself that you wish to be disclosed
  • Include dates, names, aliases, file numbers, etc.
  • Sign the form
  • Mail, email, or deliver in person to the MD Administration Office in Slave Lake or Flatbush

You are required to provide proof of identity before records containing your personal information are released. There is no fee for personal information unless photocopying charges exceed $10. The MD has 30 business days to respond to initial ATI requests. The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) may permit additional time if required.

The Access to Information Act and Regulations govern all fees and response times.  

You may contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner if you are not satisfied with our response to your request. The OIPC provides independent reviews of decisions made by a public body and resolves complaints made under the Access to Information Act.
