A new What We Heard report is available, following the Government of the Northwest Territories’ review of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP Act).

The ATIPP Act gives people the right to access and correct their personal information held by GNWT departments and other public bodies. It also sets out how personal information can be collected, used, and shared. To make sure the Act continues to work well and is easy to understand, it is reviewed regularly.

The What We Heard report summarizes feedback from NWT residents collected between September 8 and September 29, 2025, through a public survey, questionnaires, and online interviews.

This feedback will help guide next steps for the GNWT as it considers possible updates to the ATIPP Act for the 21st Assembly.
