Read by hand. We read Chapple'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

Chapple 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 Chapple?

  • Partly
    Budgets posted online

    The finance page lists budgets for 2019 to 2025. We did not find a 2026 budget there when we looked on October 10, 2026. The 2025 budget file was posted in June 2025. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2019 to 2025 are posted. The 2025 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from MNP LLP, signed June 17, 2026. The posted files are scanned images, so they cannot be searched or copied as text. Source

    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find the yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the Township's site pages we read (home, council, finance, integrity commissioner). It may be filed as a report on the meeting portal, which asks automated tools not to read it. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The Township says agendas and minutes are on its CivicWeb portal. The portal's robots.txt asks all automated tools to stay out, so we did not read any minutes. Source

How to raise a concern

From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.

  1. Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting investigator

    The Township's page lists its code of conduct, complaints policy and the by-law that appoints these officers. We did not find any reports from them on that page.
