2014 Election - Candidate Financial Statements

The last municipal election was held on October 27, 2014.

All 2014 Municipal and School Board candidates had to complete a Financial Statement (Form 4) for all the money they raised and spent during the campaign period.

They must submit the auditor's report to the Clerk along with their financial statement. The auditor's report must be prepared by an auditor licensed under the Public Accounting Act, 2004.

The Municipal Elections Act also requires that the Township make the Financial Statement - Auditor's Report Form 4 available for everyone to see. The form for each candidate has been posted below:
