If the public is "to participate more [in government] than just via the ballot box, then they need proper access to information"

Darce,


Thanks for the note.


As a public librarian with over fifteen years of dedicated service, I am deeply committed to the promotion of intellectual freedom and access to information for all citizens.


While we must also protect people's privacy, access to public information is a fundamental pillar of democracy which must be upheld.


Regards,


Troy Myers, Candidate HRSB District 3
