The Compliance Audit Committee is a requirement of the Ontario Municipal Elections Act. The Committee will address applications requesting an audit of a candidate’s or third-party advertiser’s election campaign finances and is intended to oversee investigations regarding candidate finances.

Interested candidates should have experience in accounting and audits, law, law enforcement and academics from related fields.

The committee remains in place for the term of the newly elected Council until the next municipal election in 2026. This is a volunteer position and is an excellent opportunity for individuals to offer their assistance as part of municipal election requirements.

The deadline for application is March 18 at 4:30 p.m.

Hard copies of the application are available at City Hall, 500 George St. N. An online application can be filled out here.
