17³Ô¹Ï

British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, RSBC 1996, c.165 (FIPPA) applies to almost all records in the custody or under the control of the 17³Ô¹Ï.

The legislation has two main purposes:

• to protect personal information from unauthorized collection, use, or disclosure by 17³Ô¹Ï bodies, and
• to make 17³Ô¹Ï bodies more open and accountable by providing the 17³Ô¹Ï with a right of access to records.
