Read by hand. We read Brockton'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.

How open is Brockton?

    Budgets posted online

    The budget page links PDFs for 2022, 2023 and 2024. The 2025 entry on that page has no link. The 2026 budget was deemed adopted on January 15, 2026 under strong-mayor powers; the Mayor's Budget page links only a document called the "Draft 2026 Tax Supported Budget", so we did not use it.

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2019 to 2024 are posted. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion dated February 10, 2026. We did not find 2025 statements. Source

  • Partly
    Council pay and expenses

    The 2024 Council Remuneration and Expenses report (dated March 10, 2025) is posted, but its table does not read reliably as text, so no figures from it are used here. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Brockton'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 Municipality says it appointed Principles Integrity as Integrity Commissioner under By-Law 2023-108. The page explains how to file a complaint. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the page we read.
