The Access to Information Act (ATIA) provides a method to request records held by public bodies that is not available by other means. A Personal Access Request will allow you to make a single request to a Government of Alberta department. If you want to make a request to another public body (such as a municipality or a police service), please contact the appropriate Access to Information (ATI) Office.
