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by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 Casselman'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

Casselman 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.

How open is Casselman?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 7, 2026.

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    Budgets for 2020 to 2026 are posted as PDFs on one page. The 2026 budget (approved December 9, 2025) is linked from a file named FINAL-2025-EN.pdf. The 2024 and 2023 budgets are posted in French only. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2020 to 2024 are posted. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from MNP LLP dated June 10, 2025. We did not find 2025 statements on the page we read on October 7, 2026. Source

  • Yes
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    Yearly council expense reports are posted for 2020 to 2025 (the 2023 one is a Word file). The reports are in French and English, and the layout of the 2024 one did not let us match every figure to a member, so we did not copy a pay table. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas and minutes are on an eSCRIBE portal embedded in the meetings page. We did not read any minutes, so we cannot say how current they are. Source

  • Unknown
    Tender results

    Open tenders are on a Bids and Tenders portal. We did not look for awarded contracts. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting reports

    The transparency page describes the roles but we did not find any reports. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Casselman'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 anyone with reasonable and probable grounds may file a complaint about a member of council under the Code of Conduct. Its page asks for a $300 non-refundable cheque with the complaint. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.

  2. Ontario Ombudsman (closed meetings)

    The Municipality's page says the Ombudsman can investigate closed municipal meetings, and links the Ombudsman's complaint page. We did not find reports about Casselman.
