The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (the TRCA) received an access to information request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) from a requester seeking access to all records relating to his address during a certain timeframe. The TRCA located responsive records, and granted partial access to them. In this order, the adjudicator finds that most of the information requested is exempt from disclosure under the discretionary exemption at section 38(a) (discretion to refuse requester’s own personal information), read with the discretionary exemption at sections 8(1)(a) (law enforcement matter), and that the rest of it is exempt under section 38(a), read with section 12 (solicitor-client privilege) of the Act. As a result, she upholds the TRCA’s decision to withhold this information, and dismisses the appeal.
