A national freedom of information (FOI) audit found a tale of two cities in Newfoundland and Labrador.

St. John's ranked third-best out of 22 municipal governments across the country surveyed by the Canadian Newspaper Association, garnering a grade of B.

But Corner Brook was near the bottom of the pile, in 16th spot. The west coast city earned a grade of D+.

The Canadian Newspaper Association - in conjunction with the University of King's College in Halifax - carried out the FOI audit, which ran from August to November 2008.
