Institution/HIC  City of Kingston
Summary  The City of Kingston (the City) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for records relating to the planning of the "Freedom of the City" exercise and display of military equipment and activities by the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery on July 5, 6, and 7, 1991, in City Park, Kingston. The City granted partial access to the records in its "Freedom of the City" file. Access was, however, denied to two records in their entirety pursuant to section 9(1) of the Act . The requester appealed the decision to deny access. Mediation was not successful, and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the City's decision was sent to the appellant, the City and to the Canadian Forces Base at Kingston on behalf of the federal Department of National Defence (DND). Representations were received from all parties. In his representations, the appellant contends that the contents of the records, which he did not receive, directly affect the public, and should, therefore, be open to view. This argument implicitly raises the issue of whether section 16 of the Act is relevant in the circumstances of this appeal.
