Canadian Race Relations Foundation

The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) became subject to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act on April 1, 2007.

The Access to Information Act gives Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or any person or corporation present in Canada a right to access information that is contained in government records. The Act is intended to complement existing procedures for access to government information.

The Privacy Act protects the privacy of all Canadian citizens and permanent residents with regard to personal information held by a government organization. It also provides citizens with the right to access their own personal information held by the government and offers protection of that information against unauthorized use and disclosure.

Ministers and heads of agencies are responsible for ensuring that their organizations comply with access to information legislation.
