Requests for Information / FOIP
If you have a request for information from the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass please consider the following:
Proactive Disclosure
There is a large volume of documents that are provided to the public routinely as proactive disclosure. This includes items such as Council minutes, packages, bylaws, policies, organizational reviews and other items posted throughout the website. If you are looking for documents such as these, (including older records) that may fall under proactive disclosure, you can contact the Document Management Clerk and request that your item be placed on the website, if your request is more in-depth or is otherwise not appropriate for the website for any reason (i.e. is protected by FOIP or contains protected information) you may be asked to make a FOIP Request.
