Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Requests

Northern Sunrise County follows the guidelines outlined in the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP Act) for the collection, use, and disclosure of information by public bodies.

Types of Information Requests:

1. Personal Information:
   To access your own personal information, such as employment records, complete the downloadable form.

2. General Information:
   To access general information, such as property records, fill out the online form. If you are unable to complete the form online, you can download, print, and complete the form.

   • If you are requesting information on behalf of someone else, or requesting someone else’s personal information, a Consent to Disclosure of Personal Information to a Third-Party form must be completed by the owner of the information and submitted with your FOIP request.

Submitting FOIP Requests:

Downloaded forms can be printed, completed, and submitted by mail or in person with the applicable fee to Northern Sunrise County. Depending on the type of request, the volume of records, and other regulations, a processing fee may be applied.

The County has 30 days to respond to FOIP requests, although this deadline may be extended in certain cases.
