International Right to Know Day was first introduced in 2002 in Sofia, Bulgaria, at an international meeting of access to information advocates. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness among citizens of their right to access government information, while promoting freedom of information as essential to both democracy and good governance.

Since 2002, Right to Know Day is celebrated around the world on September 28.

In Canada, Right to Know Day extends to a week of celebrations. Follow the hashtag #RTK2021 to find out more about the activities taking place across the country.
