Records in the custody or under the control of the Village of Arcadia shall be used, maintained, disclosed, and disposed of in accordance with municipal policies and procedures and all applicable legislation. Unless exempted or limited under the Act, the Village shall allow the public a right of access to records in its custody or under its control.
When looking for public information, the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (RTIPPA) is intended to be used as a last resort.
Before a formal request for information is made, the municipality encourages individuals to explore the municipal website where a number of records and information are readily available and accessible.
