Read by hand. We read Mississippi Mills'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

Mississippi Mills 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.

    Council agendas and minutes

    The website says agendas are posted five calendar days before each meeting, on a separate calendar site. When we asked that site for its robots.txt file it answered with a security block message instead, so we did not read any agendas or minutes. We have not judged whether they are up to date. Source

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Municipality has an outside Integrity Commissioner (a law firm) who handles Code of Conduct complaints against council members. Annual reports for 2019 to 2025 are posted. The 2025 report says there were two complaints, both dismissed, and that advice and complaints cost $617.50 and $1,100.00. There is a $150 fee for a formal complaint.

  2. Closed meeting investigator: Local Authority Services (LAS)

    The Municipality says it has appointed Local Authority Services as its closed meeting investigator. Closed meeting reports from June 2017 and May 2021 are posted on the same page. We did not read them.

  3. Registry of declarations of interest

    The Municipality posts a conflict of interest registry for each year from 2020 to 2026 as PDFs. We did not build any finding on the registry.
