Candidate Financial Statements - General Information
Everyone that has filed a nomination paper with the City to participate in the Municipal Elections as a candidate must in turn file their financial statement, and supplementary financial statements, if applicable, with the City Clerk after each election. These statements detail the income and expenses incurred during the candidate's campaign.

A candidate may, before the last day for filing a financial statement, apply to the Ontario Court of Justice to extend the time for filing the financial statement. The court may grant an extension of up to 90 days.
If the candidate has a deficit at the time the election campaign period would otherwise end, an extension to the campaign period can be established with the Clerk.
