Was your 9/10 year old girl banned for 30 days from the Mississauga Civic Centre, Mississauga Central Library and the Living Arts Centre on November 14, 2008?

Because someone's 9/10 year girl was.

Procedure for self-protection following any incident involving Mississauga Corporate Security or Corporation of the City of Mississauga Staff


MOST IMPORTANT! For your own protection regardless of whether you are in the wrong, as soon as practical after an incident, file a Freedom of Information form requesting:
All records, emails, and any other documents pertaining to [your name].
All records, emails, and any other documents including any video surveillance footage pertaining to the incident of [date] at [location] involving [your name] and [Mississauga Corporate Security or City staff].

The filing fee is $5.00. Forms are available here: City of Mississauga ONLINE FORM: Access / Correction Request Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Why this is important

A Freedom of Information request (FOI) immediately protects the requested documents from deletion based on the Citys official Records Retention Policy. Without such a request, video surveillance footage can be erased after only five days.

Do not assume that because you were in the wrong, there is no reason to file your FOI! Your records on file with the City can contain gross errors. In particular, FOI has shown that Mississauga Corporate Security records can be inaccurate and severely biased. You can also use the FOI request form to request a correction of your file. Although you cannot make them correct false information, your side of the story will become part of the official record.

Finally, always keep in mind that the official record can make your incident appear far worse than it actually was.
