The requester made a request under the Act to the City of Greater Sudbury (the city) for correspondence regarding her operation of a pet kennel. The city issued a series of decisions, denying access to portions of the responsive records on the basis that they are exempt under the discretionary exemptions in sections 7(1) (advice or recommendations) and 12 (solicitor-client privilege), as well as the mandatory personal privacy exemption in section 14(1). The appellant appealed the city’s decisions and also the fees it charged to provide access to the records.
In this order, the adjudicator upholds the city’s decisions that the information at issue in the records is exempt under sections 7(1), 12, and 14(1). She also upholds the fees charged by the city as reasonable. She dismisses the appeal.
