Access to Information Requests

What are the Access to Information Act (ATIA) & the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA)?

On June 11, 2025 the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP) was repealed and the Access to Information Act (ATIA) and the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) were proclaimed in its place. These acts apply to all public bodies in Alberta and govern the protection of privacy related to personal information in the custody or under the control of Alberta's public bodies.

Should you require information that is not publicly available, a request to access information will need to be made.

How to make a request:

Submit an ATIA request using the Request to Access Information form provided by The Town of Strathmore.

1. Enter your name, address and phone number;

   • If applicable enter company name

   • Fax and e-mail are optional

2. Indicate if you are requesting general or personal information;

   • General – enclose initial fee of $25.00

   • Personal – no initial fee required

   • For either type of request, please indicate if you would like to examine the records or receive a copy of the records (Please note: there may be additional fees for copies as per the current Fees Bylaw, Schedule A.)

3. Giving as much detail as possible, describe the records you would like to access, the business unit (department) of The Town of Strathmore that you believe holds the records and include the time period for the records.

4. Please sign, date and send your request to the ATI Coordinator with fees, if applicable.

5. You may also submit your request in a letter provided it is, in writing stating that you are requesting the information under the Access to Information Act.
