1. Send the request in writing to the town clerk (the freedom of information coordinator), on the town’s form or in a letter, with the $5 application fee.
2. Describe the records, not the answer you want. Dates, departments and the kind of record (a list, invoices, emails) make a request quicker and cheaper.
3. The town has 45 business days to answer (the law changed in 2026; older guides say 30 days). It can charge for search time and copies, but must send an estimate first if the fees will be over $25.
4. Some parts can be held back, such as legal advice or personal information about other people. The town must say which part of the law it relied on.
5. If you are refused, or the fees seem too high, you can appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner within 30 business days of the town’s decision.

• Payments to outside planning consultants, 2024 to 2026

  Planning operations are $197,000 in 2026 and the town has multi-year consulting commitments. Related question: How much of the planning budget goes to outside consultants, and what will the town have to show for it?.

  Show the request wordingHide the wording

  Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, I request a list of payments made to outside planning and professional-services firms from January 1, 2024 to date, showing firm, amount, date and project, and the contracts for the official plan and zoning by-law review.

  Copy the wording

The wording is a starting point, not legal advice. Narrow the dates if the town says a request is too broad or too costly.

1. Integrity Commissioner

   The township says it has contracted an outside Integrity Commissioner to handle Code of Conduct complaints about members of Council. The page links the code, the appointing by-law and a complaint form. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the page.
