2022 Financial Statements 

Candidates who participated in the 2022 Municipal Election must file a financial statement (Form 4). This statement details the income and expenses incurred during the candidate's campaign. All financial statements are public documents and are retained by the Clerk until the new council takes office following the next election. The Municipal Elections Act states the Clerk must make financial statements available at no charge for viewing on a website as soon as possible after the document is filed.

If a financial statement was not submitted, the Clerk issues a Notice of Default to the candidate and notifies Council. Candidates in default are ineligible to be elected or appointed to any office to which The Act applies until after the next regular election has taken place.
