Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Older reportDetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date. Check the sources, and tell us if you spot a mistake. What this site can't tell you
An older report. We have no 2024 report for Amaranth in the Province's latest release, so these pages use its 2023 report. It may simply be filed late.
Read by hand. We read Amaranth's own documents for this site in October 2026; the Sources page lists which ones. The comparisons with other places still come from the Province's yearly reports.

Council

Who decides, and how you can hold them to account

Amaranth is run by an elected council of 5 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

Current council

Names and official email addresses from the town's council page. None of the members lists a public social media account there.

How open is Amaranth?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 7, 2026.

  • Partly
    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 budget (approved) and budgets back to 2021 are posted as PDFs on the Treasury page. In the 2025 and 2026 budget PDFs the table text prints labels and numbers in separate blocks, so we could not safely match figures to line names and did not use them. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    The Treasury page lists audited statements for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. We did not find 2024 or 2025 on the page when we read it on October 7, 2026. Source

  • Yes
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    The yearly statement is posted for 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The pay tables print their column headings and numbers in separate blocks, so we did not copy any pay figures. Source

  • Yes
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas and minutes are on an eSCRIBE portal back to July 2022. Minutes are posted for the council meetings held through August 5, 2026 and a special meeting on August 12, 2026. The portal refused scripted downloads of its documents (HTTP 403), so we did not read any of them. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting reports

    The council page describes the Integrity Commissioner's role but we did not find any reports. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Amaranth's official channels, as linked from its own website. Council members may also post on their own pages; we link only to official municipal channels.

How to raise a concern

From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The council page names Principles Integrity as the Township's Integrity Commissioner and links the Code of Conduct, a complaint protocol and a complaint form. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.

  2. Registry of declarations of pecuniary interest

    The council page says a registry of written disclosures is on the Council Agenda and Minutes page under "Conflicts Registry". We did not read it, because the meeting portal refused our scripted downloads.
