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 Grenville?

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

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 draft budget slides, the final 2026 budget slides (dated March 11, 2026), the water and sewer budget and the survey results are posted, with archives back to 2014. The budget is published as slide decks rather than a line-by-line book. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    Statements are posted for 2014 to 2024. The 2023 statements (KPMG LLP, December 17, 2024) have a text layer and a clean opinion ("present fairly"). The 2024 statements are posted as a scanned image with no readable text, so we did not use them. We did not find 2025 statements on the page. Source

  • Partly
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    Yearly statements are posted for 2022 to 2025. The 2025 and 2024 tables could not be read reliably (the 2025 file's text is garbled, and the 2024 table's columns run together), so we did not copy any member's pay into the pack. Source

  • Partly
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas for upcoming meetings are on an eScribe meeting portal. We did not read minutes or check whether meeting videos are kept. Source

  • Yes
    Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting reports

    The accountability page lists the Integrity Commissioner's annual and investigation reports, and the closed meeting investigation report is posted in the document library. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

North Grenville'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.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Municipality's accountability page lists the Integrity Commissioner's annual reports for 2020 to 2024 and three investigation reports (2023, 2024 and 2025). The 2024 annual report says the office received five complaints in 2024, sent one report to Council and dismissed the other four.

  2. Closed meeting investigator

    A closed meeting investigation report dated February 26, 2025 is posted. It says the Municipality's closed meeting investigator is Local Authority Services Inc., which passed the work to the law firm Aird & Berlis LLP.

  3. Declaration of Interest Registry

    The Municipality says the Clerk keeps a registry of each time a member declares an interest, with links to the declaration forms. We did not use it to build any question.
