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by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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 North Dundas'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

North Dundas 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 North Dundas?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 5, 2026.

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    Budgets for 2017 to 2026 are posted as PDFs on one page. The 2026 budget is a book of line-by-line worksheets with three years of actual figures beside the budget. It has no written explanations of changes that we found. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2018 to 2025 are posted. The 2025 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from BDO Canada LLP dated July 27, 2026, with an emphasis paragraph about a change in accounting policy (asset retirement obligations). The 2024 statements are dated December 12, 2025, so the 2025 statements were signed about four and a half months sooner after year end (worked out by us). Source

  • Yes
    Financial Information Return

    The return is posted for 2018 to 2024. We did not find one for 2025 on the page we read. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find the yearly statement of council remuneration and expenses on the finance, council or investigations pages we read, so we have not filled in the pay table. Source

  • Unknown
    Council agendas and minutes

    The Township links an online meeting portal from its council pages. We did not read the portal, so we cannot say how current minutes are or whether meeting videos are kept. Source

  • Partly
    Annual reports to taxpayers

    Annual reports to taxpayers are listed for 2014 to 2023 on the page we read. We did not find 2024 or 2025. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

North Dundas' 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 Township says council appointed an outside Integrity Commissioner (Code of Conduct complaints) by Bylaw 2019-07, and posts the Code of Conduct (Bylaw 2018-32) and a complaint form. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the page we read.

  2. Closed meeting investigator

    The Township posts Bylaw 2021-08 (closed meeting investigator services), an FAQ and a request process. We did not find any investigator reports on the page we read.
