Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 5, Third Party Information. Updated 22 February 2023. 63 Where a local authority intends to rely on this provision to release personal information, notification is required to the individual to whom the information relates pursuant to the third party notification requirements outlined at subsection 33(1)(b) of LA FOIP.
