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This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 you
Read by hand. We read Faraday'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

Faraday 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.

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

Yes
Budgets posted online
The finalized 2026 budget (dated March 12, 2026) is posted as a 10-page PDF with a text layer. A separate "Summary of Taxation" for 2026 is a scan we could not read. Source
Yes
Audited financial statements
Statements for 2018 to 2025 are posted. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from Baker Tilly KDN LLP dated April 10, 2025. The 2025 statements (posted June 2026) are a scanned picture with no readable text, so we did not use them. Source
No
Council pay and expenses (s. 284)
We did not find a yearly statement on the Taxation and Finance page, the Council pages or the list of posted documents. Source

Meeting agendas and minutes
The Township says minutes and agendas are on an outside portal (CivicWeb). The portal's robots.txt disallows automated readers, so we did not read any minutes. The Township's own agendas page still lists agendas from 2021 and 2022 only. Source
