Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Read by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date. Check the sources, and tell us if you spot a mistake. What this site can't tell you
Read by hand. We read Tiny'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

Tiny 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 open is Tiny?

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

  • Yes
    Budgets posted online

    The 2026 budget book and a one-page "where do your tax dollars go" sheet are posted. The page says Council approved the 2026 Budget on January 7, 2026. We did not find earlier budget books on the same page. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    The 2024 consolidated statements are posted, with a clean opinion ("present fairly") from Pahapill and Associates Professional Corporation dated October 8, 2025. We did not find 2025 statements or earlier years on the page we read on October 5, 2026. Source

  • Partly
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    A 2025 Treasurer's Statement of council remuneration is posted. The text layer of that PDF is scrambled (columns and rows do not line up), so we could not read who was paid what, and we did not fill the pay table. We did not find statements for earlier years on the page. Source

  • Unknown
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas, minutes and by-laws are on a CivicWeb portal. The portal's robots.txt asks all automated readers to stay out, so we did not read any agendas or minutes. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner reports

    The Township describes the Integrity Commissioner's role but we did not find any reports from the Commissioner on its site. Source

  • Yes
    Ombudsman report on the Huronia Airport Task Force

    The Township posts the Ombudsman's October 2023 report on its closed meeting page. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Tiny'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.

Ask for the records

Anyone can ask the town for its records under Ontario's Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). You do not have to say why. Here is how it works, and the wording for the records that would answer the questions on this site.

  1. Send the request in writing to the town clerk (the freedom of information coordinator), on the town’s form or in a letter, with the $5 application fee.
  2. Describe the records, not the answer you want. Dates, departments and the kind of record (a list, invoices, emails) make a request quicker and cheaper.
  3. The town has 45 business days to answer (the law changed in 2026; older guides say 30 days). It can charge for search time and copies, but must send an estimate first if the fees will be over $25.
  4. Some parts can be held back, such as legal advice or personal information about other people. The town must say which part of the law it relied on.
  5. If you are refused, or the fees seem too high, you can appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner within 30 business days of the town’s decision.

  • Administration centre: total cost, loan balance and repayment schedule

    The 2024 statements give a $28 million estimate and loan limit, and the 2026 budget book shows $9,741,000 on one page and $15,500,892 on another. A cost report and the loan terms would show how they fit. Related question: How much will the new Township administration centre cost, and how will it be paid for?.

    Show the request wordingHide the wording
    Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, I request the most recent staff report or financial report to Council giving the total approved cost of the Township of Tiny Administration Centre, the amount drawn on the construction loan to date, and the expected debenture amount, term and yearly payment.

  • Two-property purchase: loan terms and repayment plan

    The 2024 statements describe a $4.5 million two-year bank loan with monthly instalments of $21,250, and do not say how the remainder will be repaid. Related question: How will the $4.5 million bank loan for the two properties be repaid, and is it the same purchase as the "Axler Block Development" in the budget?.

    Show the request wordingHide the wording
    Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, I request the staff report to Council about the purchase of two properties at a cost of $5,038,000, including the financing plan and repayment plan for the $4.5 million bank loan, and the current loan balance.

  • Debt-financing reserve: balance and forecast

    The 2026 budget puts $900,000 into the reserve and takes out $925,904 for interest (worked out by us). A forecast would show how long it lasts. Related question: Is the reserve set aside for loan interest being drawn down faster than it is topped up?.

    Show the request wordingHide the wording
    Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, I request the Township's debt-financing reserve balance at December 31, 2025 and any forecast of transfers into and out of that reserve for 2026 to 2030.

The wording is a starting point, not legal advice. Narrow the dates if the town says a request is too broad or too costly.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township says its Code of Conduct is administered by an Integrity Commissioner, and posts a complaint form. The page does not name the Commissioner, and we did not find any Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read. The 2026 budget sets aside $10,000 as a "contingency for Integrity Commissioner".

  2. Closed meeting investigator: Ontario Ombudsman

    The Township says it has appointed the Ontario Ombudsman to investigate complaints about closed meetings, and posts the Ombudsman's October 2023 report on the Huronia Airport Task Force.

  3. Declarations of pecuniary interest

    The Township posts a table of members' declarations of pecuniary interest by meeting date, with a PDF of each. We did not read the declarations.
