YES, anecdotal notes and opinions about a person are that person’s own personal information. [Section 1(1)(n)(viii) and 6(1)] This right to access is not unencumbered and there may be occasions when information could be withheld if it would be harmful to someone’s health or safety, harmful to law enforcement, or could be construed as advice to an official in Mount Royal. Because this could be a complex decision, the advice of the FOIP coordinator should always be sought.
