The Right to Know Coalition of Nova Scotia welcomes to our Board, Charles Cirtwill, the Acting President of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS), an independent economic and social policy think tank.

Charles has a keen interest in and knowledge of Nova Scotia's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Recently, on behalf of AIMS, he used the Act to seek statistics from the Halifax Regional School Board. The response he received prompted him to to ask the FOIPOP Review Officer to review the Board's decision.
