Brantford Hydro Inc. (BHI) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) for access to its Board of Directors’ meeting minutes for the years 2010 to 2013.

BHI was ordered to re-exercise its discretion concerning the information subject to the discretionary exemptions. This order also determines that the attachments to the meeting minutes fall within the scope of the request.
