Part of our Campaign for Open Government will be regular press releases, events and reports that detail the BC government’s record on FOI requests, the importance of FOI to our society, and ongoing support for the strengthening of FOI in BC. Check back regularly to keep up to date on all that is happening with the campaign.

If you are a member of the media and would like to arrange for an interview or comment from the Campaign for Open Government, please call Matt Smith at 778-881-6114.
