Freedom of Information in Nova Scotia

By Simon Fodden

As we’ve recently seen here on Slaw, getting governments to cough up information can be a difficult proposition. But there’s some help for folks in Nova Scotia. The Right to Know Coalition is:

? a non-profit organization. Through advocacy and education, RTKNS encourages the use and development of freedom-of-information legislation to foster a better informed and more politically active electorate in Nova Scotia and to improve the quality of public and private decision making in the province.

RTKNS has been around for years but has somehow slipped under my radar and eluded Slaw’s attention. Our apologies for that.

The active site is a blog, with a decent number of posts each week. (Their main site seems to be offline at the moment.) You can, of course, follow them on Twitter and subscribe via RSS.
