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This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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

How open is Baldwin?
What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 13, 2026.
- NoBudgets posted online
We did not find a 2026 budget, or any earlier budget, on the Township's site. The Plans and Reports page lists plans and a few reports but no budget. Council approved a 2026 budget on March 9, 2026, and the only public record we found of it is the minutes of that meeting. Source
- NoAudited financial statements
The only audited statements we found are for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the auditor's report is dated June 16, 2011), linked as "Financial Statement" on the Plans and Reports page. We did not find any later year. Source
- NoCouncil pay and expenses (s. 284)
We did not find the yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the pages we read (Council & Staff, Plans and Reports, agendas, minutes). Source
- PartlyMeeting agendas and minutes
Agendas and approved minutes are posted by year. Most of the 2026 files are scanned images with no text layer, so they cannot be searched or copied as text. The six sets of minutes for January to May 2026 are filed under the site's August 2026 upload folder. Source
- NoTender results
The Municipal Tenders menu link goes to one tender notice from June 2021. We did not find any tender results. Source
Where the town speaks for itself
Baldwin'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.
- Township of Baldwin on Facebook
The Township links this Facebook page from every page of its website. We did not read it.
How to raise a concern
From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.
Integrity Commissioner
The Council & Staff page lists an Integrity Commissioner. We did not find any reports from that office on the Township's site.
