You Have Information Rights
Dear PAOV,
Recent disclosures of spying against Canadian community organizations have sparked concern that involved citizens across the country have been spied on by CSIS and the RCMP.
At the BCCLA, we believe these actions are illegal and unconstitutional, so we've taken action .
But there is something that you can do for yourself. You have the right to access information about you that is being held by government bodies.
The Access to Information Act allows individuals and groups to access information held by federal government bodies, but preparing an Access to Information (ATI) request and the follow-up process can be confusing.
We're here to help.
With the help of Mike Larsen, who has literally written the book on Access to Information requests, we've prepared an online resource to walk you through the ATI process.
This guide was created to simplify the process and help people get useful and informative results from their ATI requests.
If you want to know what information Canada's government is keeping on you, find out! We hope you'll find this tool helpful. If you have any questions, reach us on twitter! Mike Larson will join us next Wednesday, April 30 from 12:00 - 1:00pm at #ATIP.
Until next time,
Josh and the BCCLA team
