Freedom of Information request under FIPPA — grant 3265, Refugee Career Jumpstart Project
Hello,
This is a request for access to records under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, directed to the Privacy and Freedom of Information Coordinator.
The records concern Resilient Communities Fund grant 3265 to the Refugee Career Jumpstart Project. The Foundation's own grant page records that the money funded the hiring of a Client Relations Lead and work to adapt programming and services. It records the grant result as "Adapt or add-new program and service delivery" and the population served as "People who are newcomers/refugees".
Produce the following records, for the period 1 January 2022 to the present.
First, the grant agreement for grant 3265, with every schedule and every clause on service delivery, accessibility and non-discrimination.
Second, the final report filed by the grant recipient for grant 3265, and every assessment, review, sign-off or internal note the Foundation produced on that report.
Third, every record stating whether the Foundation's Anti-Discrimination Policy and Accessibility Policy bind the organizations it funds, and the date each took effect.
Fourth, the name and title of the officer who certified that funds under grant 3265 were spent for the purposes approved, and the record carrying that certification.
The Regional Director for the Toronto Region wrote on 25 September 2026 that the Foundation does not have any additional information to provide. That letter named no exemption and identified no missing record. The Foundation's Access to Information Policy states that the Foundation provides the right of access to existing records in its custody or control. This request goes to the statutory channel.
On the application fee, the Foundation publishes one instrument: cheque or money order, by paper mail. Section 24(1)(c) of the Act and section 5.2 of Regulation 460 set the amount, and neither prescribes the instrument. Confirm which method the Foundation accepts that requires no chequing account, including electronic transfer, credit card, or payment at the Foundation's office. Identify the record restricting payment to cheque or money order, the date it took effect, and the officer who approved it.
Answer by 26 October 2026, confirming receipt and the date on which the period under section 26 of the Act begins. State which of the four items the Foundation will produce and which it refuses, with the exemption cited for each refusal.
A refusal or a deemed refusal goes to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario under section 50 of the Act, with the record of this exchange. A payment condition that keeps these records out of reach goes there with it.
Respectfully,
Danilo Dzyuban
