B.C. INFORMATION POLICY CONFERENCE
November 5 & 6,1992

The increasing importance of information in Canadian society has intensified the need for a national
information policy. Such a policy should address vital issues relating to citizen access to information
Concerns arising from the role that information plays in a wide range of activities undertaken by
individuals, various groups, businesses and governments should also be addressed.
The following questions — and others of interest to you — will be discussed at the November B.C.
Information Policy Conference:
What are the barriers to improving and increasing access to information?

What roles and responsibilities are appropriate for various levels of government, and for the
private sector? Is information a public resource or a private commodity?
How can existing and new technologies be utilized? How are Canadians placed to make use of
these innovations?

What use is made of information gathered? is personal privacy protected adequately? Do citizens
have the right to know?
How will alternative or minority voices and views be affected?
Policy questions such as these have implications in a variety of areas:
• public access to government information
• access to telecommunication networks
• transfer of personal information
• corporate concentration in the media
• government support for publishers and libraries
• literacy programs
The conference will provide a forum for you to refine and to discuss your information policy concerns, it

is being held as a prelude to the National Information Summit in Ottawa later this year, and will be of
interest to a wide spectrum of groups and individuals from across B.C.: community groups, librarians,
organizers, writers, consumers, publishers, businesses and educators.
Travel subsidies may be available for out-of-town delegates.
