Financial statements must be filed even if the candidate withdrew the nomination, did not actively campaign, was acclaimed, filed a Notice of Extension of Campaign (Form 6) or the nomination was not certified by the Town Clerk. Candidates must file financial statements in person or by an agent at the Office of the Town Clerk, Town Hall, 575 Rossland Road East. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays.
Any candidates who may be in a deficit position at the end of the campaign period (January 3, 2023) may choose to extend their campaign by filing a Notice of Extension of Campaign (Form 6) to the Town Clerk. The deadline for a candidate to file a Form 6 is 4:30 p.m. on December 31, 2022 to extend their campaign until June 30, 2023, to continue raising money. A Notice of Extension of Campaign (Form 6) must be filed in person or by an agent at the Office of the Town Clerk, Town Hall, 575 Rossland Road East. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays.
Candidates who extend their campaign by filing a Notice of Extension of Campaign (Form 6) must file two financial statements:
If a candidate's campaign contributions (including contributions from the candidate) or campaign expenses are greater than $10,000 the candidate must have their financial statement audited and include the auditor's report when they submit their financial statement to the Clerk.
Note: An auditor's report must be prepared by an auditor licensed under the Public Accounting Act, 2004.
If you have not filed your financial statement by the deadline, you may file your financial statement within 30 days after the deadline if you pay the Town a $500 late filing fee. This grace period ends at 2 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023. You will not receive a refund of your nomination fee if you file during the 30-day grace period.
All financial statements filed with the Clerk are posted on this web page for public viewing as received.
