Key Points

Council adjudicates the release of "In Camera" information.
All items "In Camera" (minutes, reports and other information) need to be considered for release.
A person’s right of access to records under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act remains regardless of what Council chooses to release.

Quotes

"Posting Council "In Camera" agendas and minutes from 2010-2013 to the City of Nanaimo website is the first step with implementing Council’s direction. Moving forward, Council will continue to consider releasing documents at each meeting. As well, quarterly summaries will keep track of information previously severed, so that they can be posted once the need for confidentiality has passed."
