RIM Manual and MGIP

The Managing Government Information Policy (MGIP) is BC government's policy for records and information management. To assist your ministry in meeting MGIP requirements, the table below, "The RIM Manual and MGIP", connects each section of the Manual to the relevant MGIP requirements. Although MGIP is the primary policy instrument in this domain, the RIM Manual also reflects other relevant legislation and policy such as the Appropriate Use Policy (AUP), the Core Policy & Procedures Manual (CPPM), Information Security, and more.
