Read by hand. We read Strathroy-Caradoc'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

Strathroy-Caradoc is run by an elected council of 9 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 Strathroy-Caradoc?

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

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 budget page posts the proposed budget (January 13, 2026), a revised version (January 16, 2026) and links the revised file as the adopted budget. Older budget packages are posted on the budgets and financial reports page. A Budget 2027 page exists, but it gives no dates: on July 23, 2026 the Municipality said it had postponed the planned public engagement. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    The 2025 consolidated statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from MNP LLP dated August 4, 2026. Statements for earlier years are posted. The 2024 file is a scan with no readable text, so we did not use it. Every 2024 figure in this pack is the comparison column printed in the 2025 statements. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council remuneration and expenses on the finance, council or budget pages. The budget shows council pay only as one total line. Source

  • Unknown

    Agendas and recordings are on an eScribe portal. We did not read any minutes or agendas. Source

  • Yes

    The registry is posted, and the newest entry we read is dated July 6, 2026. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Strathroy-Caradoc'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.

  • Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc on YouTube

    The Municipality links this YouTube channel from the footer of its website. We did not check whether council meeting videos are posted there. Its budget page also links "Watch Online" recordings of council meetings on its eScribe portal.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner, closed meeting investigator and ombudsman

    The Municipality says one law firm, Aird & Berlis LLP, has been appointed to act as Integrity Commissioner, Closed Meeting Investigator, and Ombudsman. We did not find any reports from these officers on the pages we read.

  2. Conflict of Interest Registry

    The Municipality posts a registry of the declarations of pecuniary interest that members have filed, with the member, meeting, agenda item and reason. We read it as a list of declarations made as the law requires, and did not build a question on it.

  3. Mayoral Decision Registry (strong mayor powers)

    Since May 1, 2025 the Mayor has had strong mayor powers. The Municipality lists each written decision with its number, date and purpose.
