Read by hand. We read Fauquier-Strickland'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

Fauquier-Strickland 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 Fauquier-Strickland?

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

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements posted online

    The Township's financial reports page lists statements for 2018 to 2023, and says it was last changed on July 29, 2025. The 2023 statements carry the auditor's report dated December 20, 2024. The provincial audit refers to the 2024 audited statements, but we did not find them on the page. Source

  • Unknown
    Budgets posted online

    We did not find an adopted budget on the Township's pages that we could read. The council agendas, where budget reports would sit, are on a separate meeting portal that does not allow automated readers (see the research notes). Source

  • Unknown
    Council agendas and minutes

    The Township links its agendas and minutes from the council page to a CivicWeb portal. That portal's robots.txt asks every automated reader to stay out, so we did not open it and cannot say whether minutes are up to date. Source

  • Partly
    Council pay statement posted online

    The council page links one pay report, for 2022. We did not find reports for later years on the pages we read. The 2022 report's table did not read cleanly, so the pack does not list council pay. Source

  • Yes
    Provincial audit report made public

    The Township's news list shows an item titled "Provincial Municipal Audit report" dated September 2, 2026, with the report and the Ministry's letter in English and French. Source

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Provincial municipal audit (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing)

    The Province ordered an audit of the Township's finances. The final report, dated July 10, 2026, and the Ministry's covering letter of July 29, 2026 are posted on the Township's own news page. The letter says the Minister will now consider issuing orders that would require the Township to follow the audit's recommendations.

  2. Registry of declarations of interest

    The Township's council page says the public registry of written declarations of pecuniary interest can be seen by contacting the municipal office. We did not look at the registry itself.
