The Township of Ramara follows the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (M.F.I.P.P.A.). This ensures access to government held information while protecting personal privacy and the right to access your own personal information. We are here for you!

Apply for access to information

Before submitting a Freedom of Information request, contact us to see if the information is already available. Many records are available online or by requesting the information from us. The Township of Ramara's Routine Disclosure / Active Dissemination Policy lists the types of documents that are readily available to the public without a formal request. 

Submitting a formal request

If a formal request is required, send your request in writing by letter or using the form for requesting information, along with the $5.00 request fee, payable to the Township of Ramara.

Submit your completed request to the Records and Information Coordinator, within the Legislative and Community Services Department. We have 30 days to respond to Freedom of Information requests.

More fees may apply depending on the request, including:

• Photocopying (20 cents per page)

• Search and Preparation Time ($7.50 per 15 minutes)

We will give you an estimate if the fees will be over $25.00.

Can a request be refused?

We may refuse access to a record or part of a record as per the exemptions in M.F.I.P.P.A. There are certain limitations that protect personal and sensitive information.
