Read by hand. We read Pelee'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

Pelee 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 Pelee?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 10, 2026.

    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 Budget Estimates (By-law 2026-13, adopted March 24, 2026) are posted as a PDF with the budget by department attached. We did not find the 2025 budget or the 2024 budget as separate documents; the 2026 schedule shows the budget for each of the six years from 2021 to 2026. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Statements are posted for 2012 to 2024. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from Hicks, MacPherson, Iatonna & Driedger LLP dated November 19, 2025. They were posted as scanned pictures of the pages. We did not find 2025 statements. Source

  • No
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the council page or the documents page. The budget shows one line, "Municipal Officers Allowance", for all of council. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The Township has pages for council meeting dates and for council meetings. We did not read them. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Pelee'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 Township has a page for its Integrity Commissioner. We did not open it, and did not look for reports.

  2. Registry of declarations of interest

    The Township has a page for its registry of declarations of interest under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. We did not open it.
