I found some interesting statistics about Municipal Freedom of Information requests.

M U N I C I P A L O R G A N I Z AT I O N S

Overall, municipal government institutions responded to 83.9 per cent of requests within the required 30-day time frame, an impressive increase from 2004’s 77.6 per cent, and the second consecutive year this number has risen after four years of decline.

In the accompanying charts, the individual response rates from the municipalities that completed the most requests (in each of three population categories) are cited. Also cited, are the police services and school boards that completed the most requests.
