The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) provides for the legal right of access to records held by the City of Winnipeg and protects privacy and personal information by limiting the ways that the City can collect, use, and disseminate personal information.

As part of its commitment to greater transparency and accountability, the City of Winnipeg publishes details of applications received for access to records under Part 2 of FIPPA. Responses to the applications are posted unless the application was for personal information, or was abandoned, withdrawn, or transferred.

FIPPA sets out the exclusions and exceptions to disclosure, as well as the other statutes that prevail over FIPPA (http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/f175e.php). When an exclusion, exception, or other statute is relied upon to refuse access, the response letter to the applicant includes the section number from the legislation (e.g. section 17 or s.17). The most commonly cited sections are as follows:

s.5 Conflict with another act
s.10 Access to records in electronic form
s.12 Record does not exist or cannot be located; refusal to confirm or deny existence of record
s.13 Public body may disregard certain requests
s.17 Disclosure harmful to a third party's privacy
s.18 Disclosure harmful to a third party's business interests
s.19 Cabinet confidences
s.20 Information provided by another government to department or government agency
s.21 Disclosure harmful to relations between Manitoba and other governments
s.22 Local public body confidences
s.23 Advice to a public body

On April 26, 2017 Council approved the implementation of a voluntary lobbyist registry. The purpose of the registry is to provide transparency on lobbying activities in the City of Winnipeg

Lobbyists are not required by legislation to register their activities; however registration on a voluntary basis is encouraged in order to enhance the transparency and integrity of business conducted.

In December of 2017, the Wards Boundaries Commission released its final report (https://winnipeg.ca/clerks/WardsBoundaries/pdfs/2017_WBC_Final_Report.pdf) establishing new boundaries for the City’s 15 Council Wards.

The report recommendation will come into force September 17, 2018, on the day before the close of the nomination period for the 2018 Civic Election, and will apply to all candidates and voters, alike. As such, all of the maps and legal descriptions below reflect the changes.
