The appellant requested a list of Residential Care Facilities licensed by the City of Toronto, including the facility's name, address, phone number, and type.

The City denied access, claiming the records contained personal information under section 14 of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

The Inquiry Officer found that the requested information related solely to services provided by business entities and did not constitute personal information about identifiable individuals.

The City was ordered to disclose the responsive portions of the records.

The appellant appealed a decision by the Metropolitan Licensing Commission denying access to portions of records related to an investigation of the appellant's work performance.

The Commission claimed exemptions under sections 7(1) and 38(a) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

The Inquiry Officer found that the records contained the appellant's personal information.

The Inquiry Officer determined that some portions of the records contained advice or recommendations and were exempt under section 7(1), while other portions contained only factual material and were not exempt.

The Commission was ordered to disclose the non-exempt portions of the records.

The appellant made a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to the Waterloo Regional Police Services Board for all information pertaining to himself.

The Police provided portions of records and claimed exemptions for the rest.

The appellant appealed, arguing that additional records should exist.

The Inquiry Officer found that the Police had conducted a reasonable search for the requested records and dismissed the appeal.
