Can a municipality provide information on the assessment roll to 911 operators and ambulance service providers?
• Yes. Under section 39(1)(a) of the FOIP Act, a municipality may use personal information for a use consistent with the purposes for which the information was collected, including operating the municipality. The information on the roll can be used for purposes related to the operation of the municipality such as the provision of emergency services by contracted providers. • When the personal information is collected directly from an individual, notice should be given to residents as to how their personal information may be used and disclosed, as required by section 34(2) of the FOIP Act.
