Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Read by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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
Read by hand. We read Armour'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

Armour 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.

    Budgets posted online

    Budget books with explanations are posted for 2019 to 2026. The 2026 and 2025 budget PDFs contain no readable text (they are pictures of pages), so we could not read them. Anyone using a screen reader would also be unable to read them. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Armour'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.

  • Armour Township YouTube channel

    The Township's agenda and minutes page says council meetings are recorded and that recordings may be posted to YouTube, and links a channel for "recorded council meetings". We did not check which meetings are posted there.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township has an outside Integrity Commissioner and posts his yearly reports, including one for December 19, 2024 to December 18, 2025.

  2. Closed meeting investigator: Ontario Ombudsman

    The Ontario Ombudsman is the Township's closed meeting investigator. The Township's council page links the Ombudsman's July 28, 2026 letter about a closed meeting held on April 22, 2026.

  3. Registry of declarations of pecuniary interest

    The Township says the registry can be viewed at the Municipal Office during normal business hours. We did not find it online.
