We are proud to support members and municipal staff affected by changes to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). On July 23, we held an initial webinar to review some of the recent changes, and on September 9, we are holding a second, follow-up webinar to go into more detail on MFIPPA privacy requirements.
We know that municipalities with limited capacity and resources are struggling to achieve compliance with new privacy measures in time for January 1, 2027. That is why, at the recent AMO Conference, we asked for a timeline extension for privacy provisions in our delegation with Minister Crawford.
In the meantime, we are offering more support to members:
- A shared online resource centre for MFIPPA documents and recorded webinars (reports, templates, etc.) to facilitate information sharing.
- Facilitating a series of related drop-in meetings to provide a safe space for members and municipal staff to connect and discuss their concerns, ask questions, share support tools and promising practices over the coming weeks.
Note: The information shared in these resources will be focused on municipalities. While the information may be transferable, the discussions will be centred around municipal organizations.
Please continue to share your documents and resources related to FOI and privacy with us, and we will upload them to the shared resource centre.
If your municipality is impacted and you would like to be part of the discussions, please complete the intake form below. Our team will review all submissions and add municipal staff to the resource centre and drop-in sessions on a first-come, first-served basis.
