Read by hand. We read Arnprior'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

How open is Arnprior?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 5, 2026.

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The Town's budget page posts the Mayor's proposed 2026 budget (January 12, 2026) with its supporting pages, the Mayor's budget presentation, a February 2, 2026 recap slide deck, a 2025 budget presentation and the 2025 budget by-law. The Town's news page says the 2026 budget was adopted February 2, 2026. We did not find the adopted version as a separate document. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Audited statements for 2020 to 2025 are posted on the budget page. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from KPMG LLP dated October 17, 2025. The 2025 statements are posted as a scanned file with no text we could read, so this pack uses 2024. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay (remuneration) statement

    We did not find a council pay and expenses statement on the budget, council or accountability pages we read. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The Town links its agendas and minutes to a separate calendar site. That site returned a security block page to a plain request, so we did not read it and cannot say whether minutes are up to date or videos are kept. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Arnprior'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 Town says its Integrity Commissioner is Cunningham Swan and Bonham LLP, appointed by By-Law 7545-24, and that the same by-law covers the closed meeting investigator. Its accountability page links Integrity Commissioner reports. We did not read them for this pack.

    2. Registry of declarations of interest

      The Town posts a yearly table of declarations of pecuniary interest by year, from 2023 to 2026, and says the written statements are available from the Clerk's Office. We did not build any question on it.
