Report Date: June 16, 2010
Public Body: College of the North Atlantic
Summary: The Applicant applied to the College of the North Atlantic
(the "College") under the Access to Information and Protection of
Privacy Act (the "ATIPPA") for access to records relied on by the
College's external legal counsel or the College in making certain
statements in correspondence sent to the Applicant's legal counsel.

the College was withholding records responsive to the Applicant's
