Read by hand. We read Smooth Rock Falls'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

Smooth Rock Falls 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 to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner (Expertise for Municipalities, E4m)

    The Town's council page names E4m as its Integrity Commissioner and posts two report decisions, dated November 18, 2024 and July 6, 2026. We used only the first.

  2. Ombudsman of Ontario

    The council page describes the Ombudsman of Ontario as an oversight body. We did not find any Ombudsman report about the Town.
