Read by hand. We read East Ferris'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.

    Budgets posted online

    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a statement of council remuneration and expenses on the pages we read. The site's own search needs a form submission, which we did not use. Source

    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The Meetings and Agendas page says council meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month and streams meetings on YouTube. The only agendas and minutes posted on that page are for the Committee of Adjustment and the Planning Advisory Committee, up to 2022. We did not find council agendas or minutes. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

East Ferris' 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's page explains the role of the Integrity Commissioner and links the Council Code of Conduct. It also posts two older reports from 2020 and 2021. We did not use them.

  2. Conflict of Interest Registry

    The Municipality posts a public table of declarations of interest made by members of council, each with a link to the signed form. We did not read the forms.
