Institution/HIC  Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton
Summary

The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton (the Region, now part of the City of Ottawa since January 1, 2001) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for detailed information about the participation of community agencies in the Community Placements Program established under the Ontario Works Act, 1997 (the "OWA"). The OWA establishes a compulsory program, commonly and hereinafter referred to as "workfare", whereby eligible recipients of social assistance participate in community placements.

The request sought a "list of all past, present and future participating organizations", as well as sublists of those organisations with three or more individual placements and those with participants working 140 hours per month, 280 hours per month and 420 hours per month. In addition, the requester sought numerical information on the total number of individual participants in the Region, broken down for a number of different factors.

Finally, the requester asked for all records of correspondence between the Region and the Government of Ontario with respect to an expansion of the workfare program implemented in 1999.
