Third Party Advertisers

A third party advertisement is an ad that supports, promotes, or opposes a candidate, or a “yes” or “no” answer to a question on the ballot.

Third party in this context means a person or entity who is not a candidate. Third party advertising is separate from any candidate’s campaign and must be done independently from a candidate.

Third party advertisers who wish to spend money on advertisements during the election must register with the Township Clerk and must file a financial statement.

The Province of Ontario has developed a Third Party Advertisers' Guide - a resource guide for the 2026 Municipal Election.
