Read by hand. We read Tillsonburg'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

Tillsonburg is run by an elected council of 7 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.

    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the Town's council or finance pages, so this pack has no council pay table. It may be in a council agenda that we could not search. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas and minutes are on an eScribe portal. Its public page loaded, but it lists only upcoming meetings without a script-driven search, so we did not read any past agenda or minutes. Source

  • Yes
    Meeting videos

    The Town says council meetings are streamed live on YouTube and recent videos stay posted there. We did not check how far back they go. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting reports

    The accountability page names the firm but we did not find any reports from it. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Tillsonburg'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.

  • Town of Tillsonburg on YouTube

    The Town says council meetings are broadcast live on its YouTube channel, and that recent meeting videos are posted there. Older videos are reached through the council calendar. We did not check which videos are still online.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Town says Council appointed the law firm Aird and Berlis LLP as its Integrity Commissioner, to look into complaints under the Code of Conduct. We did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.

  2. Closed Meeting Investigator

    The Town says Council appointed Aird and Berlis LLP as its closed meeting investigator too. We did not find any investigator reports on the pages we read.

  3. Disclosures of pecuniary interest

    The Town says a registry of members' written disclosures of conflicts of interest is available on its accountability page. We did not read the registry.
