FOI requests at Vancouver city hall double over last two years

November 2nd, 2010 · 14 Comments

Here’s my update — thanks to several phone calls — on the situation with FOI at Vancouver city hall and the future employment of departing FOI officer Paul Hancock.

As many others are, I’m sad to see him leave. Paul was incredibly patient with what is becoming an increasingly demanding job. As I note, FOI requests have almost doubled (260 to 400 + a year) and challenges to the B.C. Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner have soared.

We’ll see if the re-org at city hall results in faster responses
