April is recognized internationally by industry and government as Information Management Month (IM Month). The Management of Information Act outlines IM requirements for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and public bodies. As an employee you are legally obligated to comply with this Act. The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) provides employees with policies, directives, standards, guidelines and best practices to support compliance.
