Ca: Stolen laptops had no North Saanich taxpayer info; privacy probe underway

Posted on November 22, 2014 by Dissent

Katie DeRosa reports:

B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner is investigating whether the theft of two laptops from North Saanich municipal offices constitutes a privacy breach.

The laptops of chief administrative officer Rob Buchan and manager of corporate services Curt Kingsley were stolen sometime between late Saturday, after the municipal election ended, and early Monday.

Sidney/North Saanich RCMP and municipal staff said it’s too early to tell whether the theft was related to the Nov. 15 election.
