Fees

Applying for Access to a Record

There is no charge for applications for your own personal information or correction of your personal information. However, there is a mandatory $5 application fee for access to general records. If the application is for access to general records, you may also be charged for:

  • the cost of staff time to locate and retrieve information beyond the first two hours;
  • the cost of staff time to prepare the records; and
  • photocopying, mailing, and if applicable, fax charges.

There is no fee for the first two hours spent locating and retrieving a record.
If a public body intends to charge a fee for records it must provide a fee estimate. Under the regulations to the Acts, a public body is entitled to charge $15.00 per staff time and $0.20 for each photocopy. It also has the authority to waive a fee. You have the right to request a Review by the Review Officer of a fee estimate by a public body.
