REGINA - Dumpster diving isn't something Saskatchewan's privacy
commissioner makes a habit of, but this time Gary Dickson says he was left
with little choice.
Dickson and two assistants had to wade through a massive recycling
dumpster this week to recover medical files. They sorted through paper
more than 1 1/2 metres deep after getting a tip directing them to the
container behind the Golden Mile Shopping Centre in Regina.
"People would have every right to be concerned, to think that their most
personal information is in a large recycling bin for anybody (to read),"
Dickson said Thursday.
"In this case, you could stick your hand in through one of the small
windows and pull out a file and look at your neighbour's hysterectomy
report or whatever.
