OIPCBC UPDATE – We’re Doing it Again?
A call earlier today from Jim Taylor inquired whether I had heard back from the OIPCBC regarding my complaint about the City redacting Public Records. I called their office in Victoria which led to a response from that body that the best off the top of the head estimate, given my place in the que, is October.
Shortly thereafter on facebook I saw an entry which read:
“Got a call back from Ted Swabey stating that a portion of the video is being removed and then it will be put back up shortly. Reason: the usual Community Charter 90 (1)… I then said “so another Leadercast” He said “yes”…”
I will try to get written confirmation of this information from the City. I will be contacting the OIPCBC concerning the matter since it is the same issue which already is before them.

I did get confirmation from the City. Apparently they continue to uphold their right to change the past. Is another complaint to the OIPCBC required? See below:

Hi Ted:
A few minutes ago I saw the following message on Facebook. Can you confirm?
“Got a call back from Ted Swabey stating that a portion of the video is being removed and then it will be put back up shortly. Reason: the usual Community Charter 90 (1)… I then said “so another Leadercast” He said “yes”…
Can you confirm?
Thanks,
Ron
