| The ATIPPA is not meant to replace existing means of obtaining
information. Before you make a request using the
legislation, you may wish
to try other, informal means to obtain the records you are seeking.
Contact the public body (Access and Privacy
Coordinators) which you believe has the records. Often, you can get
the information you want in this informal way, without using the
legislation. This route will often be faster for you and less expensive for public
bodies to administer.
|
If you wish to make an ATIPP
request, the application must be made in writing. An ATIPP Application
Form is available in the offices of any public body or you can download it
here in PDF or Microsoft Word format. The PDF form can be
filled out electronically. However, it must be printed and signed before
being faxed or mailed to the public body.
|
Whether you choose to make your request informally
or under the
ATIPPA by submitting a
written application, it is recommended that you make contact with the
public body responsible for the information you are requesting. Staff can
help you determine what records exist that answer your question and how to
best describe them in your application.
|
A $5 application fee is
charged for making an application under the ATIPPA. Send your
completed application and $5 fee to the public body you believe has
the records you are looking for (Access and Privacy
Coordinators). The Access and Privacy Coordinator will notify you of
any additional fees for searching, retrieving and photocopying
records.
|
Make sure you provide
enough information on the application form to allow the public body
to identify the records you are seeking. Include your name, address
and daytime telephone number, as well as fax number and email
address if you have them.
