This campaign is completely independent and community funded. That means no corporate donations, no special interest money, and financial records that will reflect exactly what this is: a grassroots effort.
All donations are processed through this platform to ensure full transparency. Under the Ontario Municipal Elections Act, any contribution over $25 must be made by a traceable method and any contribution over $100 will include your name and address in the public financial statement filed with the city clerk at the end of the campaign.
Please do not feel any pressure to give if times are tight. There are real ways to help beyond financial contributions and the volunteer form on this site is a great place to start.
If you do choose to donate, your contribution goes directly toward local printed materials sourced from Sarnia printers, digital infrastructure to keep the site running, and community events to connect with neighbours across the city.
Any surplus remaining at the close of the campaign is turned over to the city clerk in accordance with the Ontario Municipal Elections Act.
