Mission

 

To encourage the use and development of freedom-of-information legislation to foster a better informed and more politically active electorate in Nova Scotia and to improve the quality of public and private decision making in the province.

 

No other organization in Nova Scotia has a similar mission.

 

 

Strategy

 

To pursue its mission through two means - education and advocacy:

• Education will be done through speaking engagements, media interviews, conferences and this website

• Advocacy will include assisting individuals and groups to pursue Freedom of Information applications; and law reform recommendations

 

Financial Plan

• To operate primarily on a cost-recovery basis

• To keep operating costs as low as possible

• To approach events and its organizational development on a project-by-project basis

• To seek within its membership a person or company willing to assist free of charge for each project

 

There is no fee to become a member of RTKNS; however, members or others whom RTKNS assists with FOI applications will be asked to make a voluntary donation of $10.
