This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 Greenstone'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
Greenstone is run by an elected council of 9 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

How open is Greenstone?
What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 7, 2026.
- YesBudgets posted online
The 2026 tax supported operating and capital budget (deemed adopted after the December 8, 2025 council meeting) is posted as a PDF, along with a description of the 2026 water and sewer rate budget and By-Law 26-03. Source
- UnknownAudited financial statements
The budget page says the financial statements are reviewed each year by an outside firm and links them on the Municipality's CivicWeb portal. That portal tells every automated reader to stay out, so we did not open the statements and cannot say which year is posted or what the opinion says. Source
- UnknownCouncil pay and expenses (s. 284)
The Municipality says the Treasurer submits a yearly statement and links the expense statements on its CivicWeb portal. We did not open them because the portal bars automated readers. Source
- UnknownMeeting agendas, minutes and video
Agendas and minutes are on the Municipality's CivicWeb portal, which we did not open. The 2026 budget book says council meetings are livestreamed and recordings are posted after the meeting. Source
Where the town speaks for itself
Greenstone's official channels, as linked from its own website. Council members may also post on their own pages; we link only to official municipal channels.
- Council live online (Harmony)
The Municipality's council page links this page for watching Council live online. We did not open it. The 2026 budget book says recordings are posted after each meeting.
How to raise a concern
From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.
Integrity Commissioner
The Municipality says Principles Integrity has been appointed Integrity Commissioner. The page explains how to make a complaint. We did not find any reports on the page, and we could not read the Municipality's CivicWeb portal.
