TRANSPARENCY TURNAROUND:
When public information goes private
and personal information goes public

UBC Robson Square Theatre, Vancouver
September 29, 2010
It’s a critical time for FOI and privacy rights in BC, with some game-changing recommendations for changes to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act on the table.
A Special Committee of the Legislature has just completed the third review of the FOIPP Act and delivered its final report to the BC Legislature on May 31.
The public wants privacy protection and more access to government information. Government officials want less scrutiny and a LOT more license to collect and share our personal information. Both are demanding major reforms of BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Are big changes ahead for freedom of information
and privacy in BC?
