You must open a bank account exclusively for your campaign if you accept any contributions of money (including contributions from yourself or your spouse) or incur any expenses.  You cannot use your personal bank account for campaign finances, even if you are planning a very small campaign.  All contributions -including contributions you make to yourself – must be deposited in the campaign bank account.  All expenses must be paid for from the campaign account.

As you prepare to be a candidate in the 2022 Municipality of North Grenville Municipal Election, you should be aware that it is the responsibility of each candidate, through their own determination or with the assistance of a lawyer and/or financial professional, to ensure that the legal and financial requirements related to your candidacy have been met.  The Municipality is not able to provide advice to candidates and we encourage you to review the Municipal Elections Act.
