Records Management By-law

The City of Winnipeg is required by the City of Winnipeg Charter Act to have a by-law for the management, retention, safekeeping, disposition and destruction of records.

The Records Management By-law was updated and approved by City Council in December 2020 and provides clarity and efficiency around records management. It designates members of the Records Committee, who will review and approve retention schedules, and enables the City to better meet its legal, regulatory, and operational requirements.

Schedules

The current City of Winnipeg records schedules can be found below. Schedules will be updated as required in coordination with City departments, pending approval of the Records Committee.
