[CivicAccess-discuss] Right to Know Week - Open Government

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

I was just pointed to this site (http://www.righttoknow.ca).  I may have
been pointed to it before, and it is old news, but really quite interesting
nonetheless.  There are some really userful resources (podcasts -

Right to Know

    The purpose of Right to Know (RTK) Week is to raise awareness about
people’s right to access government information while promoting freedom of
information as essential to both democracy and good governance.

 In 2009, the Canadian RTK Week will take place from September 28 to October
2.  This year marks the fourth year that Canadians have celebrated RTK Week,
and there are a great number of events planned coast to coast.

   Internationally, RTK Day began on September 28, 2002, in Sofia, Bulgaria
at an international meeting of access to information advocates who proposed
that a day be dedicated to the promotion of freedom of information
worldwide. It is now celebrated globally and continues to grow and expand
each year, both internationally and within Canada, with more participants
and new exciting events being added.

   This website is a portal to all jurisdictions across the country mandated
to address complaints about access to information.
