Request for access to documents

It is possible for everyone to consult and obtain copies of public documents, accessible in accordance with the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information.  All requests must be made in writing and addressed to the responsible in the organization, which will analyze the request and ensure follow-up.

At the Municipality of Chelsea, the employee designated to receive requests for access to documents is the Director of Legal Affairs and Registry.

For all requests related to access to documents, an e-mail may be sent to greffe@chelsea.ca.

 

The information you provide in your request will be treated in a confidential manner and will be communicated only to those authorized to handle your request.

Your request must be made in writing to the designated person in the organization and must be sufficiently precise in order to facilitate the retrieval of the document and thus enabling them to provide you with an answer. In order to add specificity to your request, we suggest that you mention the title of the document, the name of the author or the subject matter.

The form entitled “Request for access to documents” is optional and is made available to all those making a request to the Municipality of Chelsea, for access to documents.

To do so, please complete and sign the document and send it to the designated staff person in the organization.
