Read by hand. We read Prince Edward County'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

Prince Edward County is run by an elected council of 14 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the city day to day.

Current council

Names and official email addresses from the city's council page. None of the members lists a public social media account there.

How open is Prince Edward County?

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

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 operating and capital budgets, a 2026 budget book and the budgets back to 2021 are posted on one page. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    Statements from 2015 to 2025 are posted. The 2024 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from KPMG LLP dated September 9, 2025. The 2025 statements are posted as a scanned image with no text we could read, so we did not read them or use any figure from them. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find the yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the County's own pages we read. Council business papers are on a meeting portal (princeedwardcounty.civicweb.net) whose robots.txt disallows automated access, so we did not read it, and we left council pay out of this pack. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas, minutes and video

    Agendas and minutes are on the CivicWeb portal, which disallows automated access, so we did not read any. The County also links a video page on that portal and a YouTube channel. Source

  • Partly
    Integrity Commissioner reports

    Two reports (2018 and September 2024) are linked from the Code of Conduct page. We did not find a list of every investigation. Source

  • Yes
    Conflict of interest registry

    A registry is posted for each year from 2022 to 2026, each as a PDF with meeting date, item and the member's reason. Source

  • Partly
    2022 election candidate finances

    The Clerk's compliance report dated May 2, 2023 lists every 2022 candidate for mayor and council as having complied with the financial statement rule. The County's elections page also has a section for mayor and council financial statements, which we did not read. Source

  • Partly
    Procurement

    Open bids are on a bids and tenders platform. The Procurement By-law 107-2026 is posted as a scanned image with no text we could read. We did not look for awarded contracts. Source

Where the city speaks for itself

Prince Edward County'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.

  • County of Prince Edward on YouTube

    The County links this YouTube channel from its council page. We did not check whether council meeting videos are posted there. The County also links a video page on its meeting portal.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The County says it has an Integrity Commissioner who receives Code of Conduct and Municipal Conflict of Interest Act complaints. Its Code of Conduct page links two reports: one from 2018 and one dated September 4, 2024 about complaints on talk of the Picton Terminals court case outside closed meetings. The second report says the Commissioner found a breach of confidentiality had likely happened but had too little evidence to say who was responsible.

  2. Closed meeting investigator

    The accountability page links a Municipal Closed Session Investigator Policy and a complaint form. We did not find reports from the investigator on the pages we read.

  3. Registry of declarations of conflict of interest

    The County posts a yearly registry of declarations of conflict of interest, for 2022 to 2026. We read the 2025 and 2026 registries, but we did not build any question on them: declaring a conflict is the rule being followed.

  4. Audit Committee

    A committee of the Mayor, three councillors and three members of the public. It reviews the audited statements and the external auditor's findings.
