File #		MA11-35


Institution/HIC		Township of Georgian Bay


Summary		The appellant requested a copy of the minutes of an in-camera meeting of the council of the township. The township claimed that the record was exempt under the discretionary exemptions in section 6(1)(b) (in-camera minutes) and sections 8(1)(a), (b) and (c) (law enforcement). The possible application of the mandatory exemption in section 14(1) (personal privacy) was also raised. The appellant argued that he ought to have access to the record under the Act because he was a member of council at the time of the meeting, and attended the meeting to which the minutes relate. The township’s decision to deny access to the record is upheld, and the township properly exercised its discretion to deny access to the record.
