News Summary May 3rd, 2025

This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, May 3rd.  

Our condolences go out to everyone in the Filipino community and Vancouver affected by the tragic events of April 26th. 

Off the top, the dust is still settling on the federal election, and we see the first of the Code of Silence Awards being handed out.  

We’ll look at important stories impacting access to information, privacy, and information management across Canada and around the globe. 

And we’ll wrap up with a concerning development in British Columbia, where Northern Health Authority is being taken to court by an independent office of the legislature, signaling a troubling breakdown in transparency and accountability.
