Compliance Report and Review of Financial Statements by Clerk

This report is provided pursuant to section 88.23(4) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (the Act), as amended which mandates the Clerk to make available to the public a report identifying which candidates have complied with the requirements for filing their financial statements.

After the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections, candidates for the positions of council, trustees, and third-party advertisers had until March 31, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. to file their Financial Statements with the Clerk’s Office where they had registered.

The Clerk’s review of candidate financial statements included: filing date and time, campaign period identified, inclusion of auditor’s report (where required), spending and contributor limits.

Financial Statements Filed in Compliance with the Act
Every candidate registered with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of Russell for the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections has submitted their Financial Statements in compliance with Section 88.25 of the Act.

Compliance for Contributors
Any individual who is a resident of Ontario may make a contribution to a Candidate’s campaign or to a registered Third-Party Advertiser.

Individuals can contribute a maximum of $1,200 to a single candidate. This amount includes the value of any goods or services donated to the campaign as well as money. Individuals may not contribute more than $5,000 in total to candidates running for offices on the same council or school board.

Candidates and Registered Third Party Advertisers must write the name and address of each contributor who made a contribution in excess of $100 regardless of whether it was given in cash or in kind.

Pursuant to Section 88.34(1), after examining each Financial Statement, it appears that no contributor has exceeded any of the contribution limits as determined by the Act.

Dated this 25th day of April 2023

Joanne Camiré Laflamme
Clerk
