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This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan'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
Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan 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 Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan?
What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 7, 2026.
- YesBudgets posted online
The 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 budgets are posted as PDFs on the Administration page. They are cash-basis schedules adopted by by-law. We did not find the separate 2026 budget on the accounting basis the province asks for (see the finding on that). Source
- YesAudited financial statements
The 2025 consolidated statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from MacKillican & Associates dated 6 May 2026. Statements for 2023 and 2024 are posted too. Source
- PartlyCouncil pay and expenses (s. 284)
A yearly statement is posted for 2024 and 2025, but the files we opened have no text layer (they are pictures of pages), so we did not read any figure from them. Source
- YesMeeting agendas and minutes
Agendas and minutes for each 2026 meeting we looked at are posted on the Council page, usually a month or two after the meeting. The same page also says minutes are available upon request. Source
- PartlyIntegrity Commissioner reports
Reports are listed for 2019 to 2021 only. Source

How to raise a concern
From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.
Integrity Commissioner
The Township says its Integrity Commissioner applies the Code of Conduct and the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. The page lists decisions and reports dated from 2019 to 2021 and none after that. We did not read them.
