Welcome to the Right to Know website
September 26-September 30, 2011
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 2011, the Canadian RTK Week will take place from September 26 to September 30. This year marks the sixth 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.
