Guidelines & Requests
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) helps promote good
city government by balancing the following principles:
Freedom of Information (FOI):
Whenever possible, information held by the City of Kamloops should be available to
the public.
Protection of Privacy:
The City of Kamloops should not improperly collect or disclose personal information.
Requesting Information
There are two ways to request information from the City. The first is to make an
informal request. Since almost all of the City's information is available through routine
channels, you should always start by making an informal request to the department that
you feel has jurisdiction or by calling the City's central switchboard at (250) 828-3311.
The second way to request information is to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. FOI requests are intended to be an avenue of last resort. You should only make an FOI request when the information is not available through routine channels.
