Privacy Policy

The privacy and protection of all the information we gather is governed by Canadian law, specifically the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) legislation. This legislation contains specific provisions about the collection, storage and use of information collected and recognizes the right of individuals to have that information protected and disclosed to them.

The purpose of this website is to provide a forum for the exchange of information and views on the construction, by the Regional Municipality of York ("the Region of York"), of the 16th Avenue Interceptor Sewer. We welcome comments by visitors and we seek their participation in an ongoing dialogue. We therefore ask, but do not require, visitors to provide information that will allow us to respond to them, to gauge public views, and to associate those views to areas the project may affect.

We treat this information with care. We will not share or otherwise provide any personal information to anyone not associated with the Region of York or its public consultation team. We will not post any personal information on this website unless we receive explicit authorization from that person to do so. We will use the information to produce summary information that cannot be used to identify specific individuals.

In addition to personal information provided by visitors by filling out and submitting forms or using our site to send us an email, our web servers collect standard information about visits to the site, including date and time, the IP address of the machine being used, and the pages requested. In some cases our server may send a cookie to your browser to identify your machine as having previously connected. In all these cases, the information, although not directly tied to personal information, is also protected.

If you have any questions about this policy, or any comments about the information we collect or how we collect it, please contact us.
