Report Date: January 30, 2024
Public Body: Town of Musgrave Harbour
Summary: The Complainant made two access requests to the Town of Musgrave Harbour for records relating to business taxes and fees. The Town failed to respond to the requests, but during the complaint investigation provided a single record to the Complainant. The Commissioner concluded that this was likely the only existing responsive record. The Commissioner made recommendations to the Town including making arrangements for ATIPP training and additional support, creation of records management and access to information policies and procedures, and future compliance with statutory requirements.
