Train the Trainer Manual


This manual contains course materials, presentation tips, training planning advice and a host of other resources that will assist you in conducting the Introduction to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPP Act) course. Introduction to the FOIPP Act is a half-day course designed to provide attendees with a basic overview/awareness of the Information and Privacy legislation, concepts and requirements. It has been designed for staff who require an awareness of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act), and is not intended for those individuals who require a more in-depth knowledge of the Act and who make decisions on the application of the legislation.

The material in this package is designed to assist the facilitator in presenting the legislation, the procedures which accompany it, and in stressing the value of the Act, both to government and to the public.

This information is designed to be applicable to any public body. The materials shown are listed in the table of contents below.
