Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Read by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 Gananoque'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

Gananoque is run by an elected council of 6 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 Gananoque?

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

  • Partly
    Budgets posted online

    Budgets for 2021 to 2025 and the Mayor's deemed 2026 budget are posted as PDFs. The 2025 budget file is a scan with almost no readable text, and the 2026 budget file prints its labels and numbers in separate blocks, so we used no line figures from either. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    Statements are posted up to 2024, with a clean opinion ("present fairly") dated October 21, 2025. We did not find 2025 statements on the page we read on October 7, 2026. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the finance, council or budget pages. Source

  • Yes
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The public meetings page lists upcoming meetings and posts agendas and some minutes, including unadopted minutes of the September 16, 2026 council meeting. Source

    The Town posts a list of casino commission revenue by year. The list we read stops at 2023. Source

    The Town posts the Mayor's decisions and directives, each as a document, on one page. Source
