PO-3156

File #  PA11-303-2
Institution/HIC  Ontario Heritage Trust
Summary  The appellant submitted a four-part access request for records relating to the bidding and evaluation process conducted by the Ontario Heritage Trust (the OHT) with respect to a specific project. The OHT identified records responsive to the request and granted partial access to them, denying access on the basis of a number of exemptions. With respect to parts 1 and 2 of the request, the OHT located one responsive record. The appellant appealed the OHT’s decision to deny access to portions of the records pursuant to the identified exemptions and also claimed that, with respect to parts 1 and 2, additional records should exist. Accordingly, whether the OHT conducted a reasonable search was also at issue. During mediation, the exemption claims were resolved and the only issue that remained was the reasonableness of the OHT’s search. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the OHT conducted a reasonable search, as required by section 24 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and dismisses the appeal.
