Read by hand. We read Prince'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.

    Budget posted online

    We found no separate budget book. The 2026 budget tables are inside the March 31, 2026 special budget meeting agenda package, labelled a draft. Council's minutes say it approved the 2026 budget as presented. Source

    Council pay and expenses statement (Municipal Act s.284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council remuneration and expenses on the pages we read. The Township's council members page is closed to automated readers by its robots.txt, so we did not open it. Source

    Tender notices and results

    A Quotes and Tenders page exists and a 2026 road maintenance tender is posted. Tender results appear in staff reports inside agenda packages. Source

    The Township links this YouTube channel from its home page. Its Council Meeting Recordings page lists many past meeting videos.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Closed meeting investigator: Ontario Ombudsman

    The Ombudsman's letter of October 31, 2025 says the Office of the Ombudsman is the closed meeting investigator for the Township. It says that after a complaint about a closed meeting held on January 14, 2025, council did not break the open meeting rules. The Township posts the letter on its Municipal Documents page.

  2. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township posts an Integrity Commissioner annual report dated January 23, 2025 and an inquiry decision from 2021 on its Municipal Documents page. We did not read them for this pack.
