Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act  (FOIPPA) establishes a process by which any person can request access to information contained in records under the custody or control of the City of Quesnel.

The Act gives individuals rights to request records from the City of Quesnel and to receive them in a timely manner.  The Act also protects the privacy of individuals by placing restrictions on the City of Quesnel when collecting or disclosing personal information.

Effective July 1, 2022 there will be a $10 application fee (unless requesting your own personal information) for each request as per BC Reg 155/2012.  Depending on the request, additional fees may also be required and a fee estimate will be provided.

The application fee can be paid by e-transfer to financedepartment@quesnel.ca.   Please also send an email to financedepartment@quesnel.ca indicating that you have made a payment for your FOI request submitted on date of submission.  Payment can also be made at City Hall.  Let the front desk know it is a payment for a FOI request.
