Requests for Information / FOIP

If you have a request for information from the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass please consider the following:

Proactive Disclosure

There is a large volume of documents that are provided to the public routinely as proactive disclosure. This includes items such as Council minutes, packages, bylaws, policies, Audited Financial Statements and other items posted throughout the website. If you are looking for documents such as these, (including older records) that may fall under proactive disclosure, you can contact the Communications Coordinator and request any document that has been deemed public. If you are looking for items that don't fall under proactive disclosure, you may be asked to make a FOIP Request.

Making a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Request

To obtain access to records in the custody of the public body, Applicants will fill out an access request form, referred to as a "FOIP Request" which must be received in writing (unless the Applicant requires an accommodation) and must provide enough detail to enable the public body to identify the record. Please fill out the form below and bring it into the Municipal Office with the $25.00 fee. Alternatively, forms may be emailed to reception@crowsnestpass.com.

Please note: if your request is large or time consuming other fees may apply as per the FOIP Regulation. You can request a quote from the FOIP Coordinator prior to submitting your form. For more information or assistance filling out your form please contact the FOIP Coordinator at the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass.

The FOIP Coordinator in accordance with Section 11(1) of the FOIP Act will make every reasonable effort to respond to a request no later than 30 days after receiving it.
