The requester sought access from the Regional Municipality of Niagara (Niagara) under the Act to records related to a septic system that the requester’s company was installing for a property.
Niagara located responsive records and denied access to them in part under sections 7(1) (advice or recommendations) and 14(1) (personal privacy). The requester appealed this decision and claimed that Niagara’s search for responsive records was not reasonable.
In this order, the adjudicator orders Niagara to disclose the information at issue in the records. She also upholds Niagara’s search for responsive records as reasonable.
