The appellant made a request to the Town of Blue Mountains (the town) under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to the video recordings of a hearing into a by-law infraction. The town denied access to these videos pursuant to section 8(1)(a) of the Act on the basis that disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with a law enforcement matter.
In this order, the adjudicator finds that disclosure of the video recordings could not reasonably be expected to interfere with a law enforcement matter, and she orders the town to disclose them to the appellant.
