Union Bay Improvement District Annual General Meeting
Tonight @ 7 pm Community Hall
UPDATE; APR 19, 4:19 pm.
It just gets worse. The Admin sent a copy of my Privacy complaint to the very person he shouldn’t have given my email address to! A Privacy complaint distributed in the very email he’s admitting he shouldn’t have given out that personal information.

- I submitted a complaint under the Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act to the Union Bay Improvement District Wed. around 2:40 pm.
- the complaint involved Union Bay Improvement District providing my email address to a third party without my permission and a breach of UBID’s own Personal Information Privacy Policy 6-A-02.
- you stated twice that it was not you who had provided the third party with this personal information.
- you responded by email Wed. at 3:50 pm stating you had in fact provided the third party with my personal information.
- the complaint you received is strictly involving the Union Bay Improvement District as the ‘public body’, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and me as the complainant. This complaint is private.
- you took the time to scan my 2 page complaint and create a pdf file and forward it to the very person my complaint involved and included them in your email to me.
- my initial complaint has not been resolved and you have shared a Privacy complaint with a third person who has no authority regarding the Privacy Commissioner.
- in your email, you assure me “it will not happen again” – Do you see the irony here?
This is not the first time this Admin has been untruthful.
I attended the UBID office to ask questions which have been ignored in email requests.
The Admin wants me to make an appointment to obtain policies etc., and yet admits he doesn’t have the policy and has not taken any action to correct the error on the website or in the UBID office since the matter was discussed at the Mar. 22, meeting.. The Admin then suggests I email him in spite of the fact that’s why I have to go to the office – my emails go unanswered.
The Admin threatens to call the RCMP if I don’t leave because I’m asking him about items no longer available on the website at the 1:54 mark and he claims I’m accusing him of things he didn’t do!
The Admin doesn’t remember this conversation regarding the Communication with the Public Policy from the Mar. 22, meeting and then advises me to get a copy from a Trustee.
At the end I submit my complaint regarding the Admin giving out my personal information and inquire as to who provided Simon Rasmussen with my email address and all three UBID staff claim it wasn’t them. The Admin stated twice it was not him. When I returned home I had this email waiting. NOTE: I have removed my email address from the emails below and X out my email in the one the Admin sent to Rasmussen.

Turns out I did send Simon your email address as per his request last week. I did not realize at the time it was an issue from a Freedom of Information and Privacy Act. I do now, and it will not happen again.
I have also copied Simon so he is also up to date on this issue as well.

Hi Gord,
Two follow-ups from our call:
- Can you send me Mary Reynolds’ email address?
- Can you send me a copy of your procedure bylaw? I’d like to take a look at what you’ve got and where we could possibly look at making some tweaks, if need be.
Simon
