Exclusive Expert-Led Event to Help Municipalities, Police Services, School Boards, and Other Public Sector Organizations Prepare for Upcoming MFIPPA and FIPPA Changes
Toronto, ON – May 19, 2025
With the July 1, 2026 initial implementation of Bill 97 fast approaching, municipalities, police services, school boards, and other Ontario public sector institutions are seeking clarity on how amendments to MFIPPA and FIPPA will impact Freedom of Information (FOI) processes, timelines, privacy obligations, and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) requirements.
