Read by hand. We read Grey Highlands'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

Grey Highlands is run by an elected council of 7 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 Grey Highlands?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 14, 2026.

  • Partly
    Budgets posted online

    The Municipality's budget page sends residents to its engagement page and to budget documents on its CivicWeb portal (2024, 2025 and 2026). The portal's robots.txt tells all automated readers to stay out, so we did not open the budgets. The Municipality's 2026 news releases give the main figures. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    The Municipality's page says the audited statements "are available" and links them on the CivicWeb portal, and that a copy is free on request. We did not open them because the portal asks automated readers to stay out. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a council pay statement on the Municipality's own pages. It may be on the portal we could not open. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas and minutes are on the CivicWeb portal. The Municipality says agendas are published three days before a meeting and that Council meets on the first and third Wednesday. We did not open the portal, so we did not read any minutes. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner reports

    The code of conduct page names the Integrity Commissioner's role. We did not find reports on the pages we read. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Grey Highlands' official channels, as linked from its own website. Council members may also post on their own pages; we link only to official municipal channels.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Municipality's code of conduct page says its Integrity Commissioner is an outside firm (Principles Integrity) that investigates complaints about members of council and reports to Council. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.

  2. Closed meeting investigator: Ontario Ombudsman

    The Municipality says it appointed the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman as its closed meeting investigator and links the Ombudsman's complaint form.
