This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, October 25th.
We’ll start with a group of Local Journalism Initiative stories that show how this initiative is regularly employing access and requests for information in their reporting.
We’ll follow that up with national reports that intersect access and privacy, including continuing fallout from the damning federal auditor's report that includes identification of poor federal cybersecurity and separate calls from national chiefs to deem First Nations policing essential.
We have two important reports informed by the actions of whistleblowers in healthcare from Ontario and Alberta.
And we wrap with our regular scan outside Canada’s borders.
