Disposal Schedules for Municipal Government

Disposal schedules are management plans for information. Schedules describe records created as a result of a particular activity; identify the content of the record; describe how the record is used; and specify the lifecycle of the information.

Schedules are available for the following departments and boards. Note: the first number following DS is the schedule number; the second number is the year the schedule was issued. If applicable, the revision month and year are also listed.

If your department is not listed below, please see the Administration and Personnel schedule (23/89) for records held in common by various departments. If you have records not listed on these schedules, please contact the Records Management Unit for suggested retention periods.

Records may not be destroyed without the written permission of the Supervisor of Public Records. For instructions and sample letter, see the instructions section of each department. Please contact the Records Management Unit if you have any questions or need any assistance.
