This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 Elizabethtown-Kitley'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

How open is Elizabethtown-Kitley?
What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 5, 2026.
- PartlyBudgets posted online
The budget page links 2025 draft reports and the 2026 budget meeting agendas on the Township's own site. The 2026 reports themselves sit in the meeting portal, which blocks automated readers, so we read the February 2, 2026 draft report from the agenda posted on the Township's site and not the adopted budget book.

- PartlyAudited financial statements
The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from KPMG LLP dated June 23, 2025. The page also links 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. We did not find 2022 or 2025. Source
- UnknownMeeting portal
Agendas and minutes are in a CivicWeb portal. Its robots.txt disallows all automated readers, so we did not read minutes there. Meetings are livestreamed on YouTube, according to the Township's agenda. Source
- PartlyCouncil pay statement (Municipal Act s.284)
The Township posted the 2023 statement of the treasurer. The text of its table is scrambled in the PDF, so we did not use it. We did not find a later statement. Source
- YesMayoral decisions and directions
A public list of mayoral decisions and directions under the strong-mayor rules is posted with links to each document. Source

Integrity Commissioner
The Township's news post of August 21, 2026 refers to an Integrity Commissioner's report included in a council agenda. The Township says it will not publish such reports on its website or keep an online register. We did not read the report.
