Sources
Every document this site draws on, what it covers, and which pages it holds up. If a number here has no source, it is a bug — this is the page that makes that checkable.
This site publishes 494 sources. Each entry names the document, who issued it, the date it was retrieved, and the pages resting on it. Where a figure needs a caveat, the caveat lives on the page that shows the figure — this is the index, not the argument.
94 of them survive only in the Internet Archive. The City of Barrie still publishes exactly one of its own election certificates: 2022. Everything earlier was recovered from archived copies of pages that no longer exist, and one URL the City itself last published for the 2018 results now returns a 404. Where that is the case, the entry says so and links the archived copy rather than implying the original is still there.

| Board agenda package, May 23, 2024: 2023 year-end audit and financial statements The board's audited 2023 statements: salaries and benefits $83,794,778 (2022: $62,530,395), of which the "Increase in employee future benefits liabilities" was $22,058,747 (2022: $4,857,952) and salaries and wages $46,462,308 (2022: $43,554,654).

| Summary of Expenses for Members of Council (quarterly Council Expense Reports), Q1 2019–Q2 2026 Thirty quarterly reports, Q1 2019 to Q2 2026: every quarter barrie.ca has published. The live page keeps only recent quarters, so the earlier ones come from Internet Archive copies. Each report has three appendices per member: A, discretionary spending, itemized; B, corporate phone, air card and tablet costs, as totals only; C, conferences and travel, itemized by event. This site transcribes every line. Each member's lines add up, to the cent, to that quarter's summary table, and the mayor's office's yearly totals match the City-paid expenses in the annual remuneration statements. Q4 2022 spans the November change of mayor and lists Lehman and Nuttall separately. | City of Barrie — Finance Department | August 19, 2026 | |
| 2016 Business Plan — Executive Summary Internet Archive Requested/recommended budget, not approved. "TOTAL RECOMMENDED TAX OPERATING BUDGET" net figure (PDF p27) includes Service Partners for this and every year through 2023 -- unlike the 2024 book onward, where the same-named row excludes them. The site therefore never charts this printed total directly: the city-operations figure for 2016 to 2023 is the total minus the same table's Service Partners & Grants section net, so the partner lines are not counted twice. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| 2017 Year End Report (Staff Report EMT002-18) Internet Archive The only surviving report of its kind: net divisional spending, actual against budget, for tax-supported services, on the same basis as the site's levy figures. Carries a 2016 actuals column. Council minutes show an equivalent report was presented each spring, but no other year's report survives online. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Budget and Financial Overview (2019 budget) Internet Archive Requested/recommended budget. Its comparator column carries the 2018 APPROVED Service Partner amounts. The Divisional Tax Operating subtotal is printed as a blank header band in this book -- no 2019 divisional requested figure exists. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Budget and Financial Overview (2020 budget) Internet Archive Requested/recommended budget. Its comparator column carries the 2019 APPROVED Service Partner amounts, with one exception. Its County of Simcoe detail table is a stale copy of the 2019 book's, down to the same "$1,923,00" typo, so it is not used for the 2019 approved County figure. The summary table's 2019 County net of $18,473,000 leaves out the County Capital Reserve contribution, so it is on a narrower basis than the site's Total - Tax Funded figures. The 2019 County row uses the 2021 book's "2019 Actuals" column instead. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Budget and Financial Overview (2021 budget) Requested/recommended budget. Its comparator column carries the 2020 APPROVED Service Partner amounts, and its per-partner Base Budget Change Report adds a "2019 Actuals" column -- the source of the 2019 County of Simcoe actual ($19,948,986 Total - Tax Funded), the only documented 2019 County figure on the site's basis. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Budget and Financial Overview (2022 budget) Requested/recommended budget. Its comparator column carries the 2021 APPROVED Service Partner amounts; the column itself is mislabelled "2022 - Budget" in the document but its values match the 2021 approved figures found elsewhere, not 2021 requested. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Budget and Financial Overview — Tax Rate (2015 budget) Internet Archive Real text layer. The first year whose book prints a per-partner net Tax Impact table beside the gross one. Carries 2013 actuals. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |

| Executive Summary (2013 Business Plan, §a) Internet Archive Scanned PDF, no text layer. Its Fund Account Summary (p. 55) states the 2013 tax-rate Property Taxes — the levy — at $184,505,506; the figure was read from the page image. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |

| Service Partners & Grants (2013 Business Plan, §g) Internet Archive Scanned Xerox PDF, no text layer; the extracted file is OCR and every published digit was verified against the page image. Carries 2011 actuals. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Service Partners (2011 Business Plan) Internet Archive Real text layer. Its Base Budget Change Report carries 2009 ACTUAL expenditures — the oldest actuals recoverable; no 2009 or 2010 book survives on the Wayback Machine. The gross request rows carry the development-charge offsets as separate revenue lines, unlike the 2015+ books' printed Tax Impact rows. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Service Partners (2012 Business Plan, §10) Internet Archive Scanned Xerox PDF, no text layer; the extracted file is OCR and every published digit was verified against the page image. Carries 2010 actuals. The police board's covering letter states the net 2012 request ($43,583,716) — the table's gross minus the DC offset, corroborating both figures. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |
| Service Partners (2014 Business Plan, §5) Internet Archive Scanned Xerox PDF, no text layer; the extracted file is OCR and every published digit was verified against the page image. Carries 2012 actuals. | City of Barrie | August 18, 2026 | |

| City of Barrie budget page as it stood after the 2024 budget was adopted Internet Archive With the December 6, 2023 release "Council endorses City's portion of the 2024 budget": Council "froze spending on the City's Operating Budget for the second year, while continuing the contribution of 2 per cent for the Infrastructure Investment Funding levy".

| Corporate Asset Management Plan — Proposed Levels of Service (2025) Rev 02, June 12, 2025; 213 pages, written to O. Reg. 588/17's proposed-levels-of-service deadline. A local copy is kept with the site's research files. Its $21.2 million a year renewal gap compares the capital plan with forecast need. The operating budget's $65.6 million shortfall uses a different method, based on amortization, so the two figures cannot be compared or added. | City of Barrie | August 17, 2026 | |
| Employment Lands Development Community Improvement Plan Adopted December 3, 2025; By-law 2026-019 (March 4, 2026), amended by By-law 2026-077 (June 17, 2026) adding two Sovereign Defence programs.

Adopted by Council on April 29, 2026 as motion 2026-A-071. Because both approving motions were amended, a line-by-line amount in the requested budget books is not the approved figure unless another document confirms it. | City of Barrie — Legislative and Court Services | August 11, 2026 | |

How this section is built: generated from the source registry, the site’s index of every document it holds. This table is not maintained by hand — it is read out of the same data the site's pages read, so it cannot list a source the site does not hold, or omit one it does.
Reporting the site leans on
Where a figure exists only in journalism — a cost stated to council and reported, a contract total, an announcement with no newsroom release — the story is listed here and the page says the figure is the outlet’s. Reporting is never treated as a document. Everything the outlets published about this election, whether or not the site relies on it, is indexed separately at /data/media-index/.

The City's own disclaimer applies to every figure: as filed by candidates, not verified or amended by staff. Sixty-nine candidates were certified in 2022; this set holds 66 statements and the gap between the two counts is not yet reconciled against Notices of Default or late filings. | City of Barrie, filed under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, s.88.25 | August 19, 2026 | |

Each is linked from its row on this site. Nearly all are handwritten and scanned. Most use an older form layout (Revision B: C2+C3=C4 total expenses, D1=C1−C4) than the 2022 forms; a figure counts as verified here only when that layout's own arithmetic closes or the "no contributions or expenses" box is legibly ticked.

Most copies are from September 2019 captures; three are from January 2021 captures, including Donald Blais's and Keenan Aylwin's, whose 2019 copies were truncated. The City's own disclaimer applies to every figure: as filed, not verified or amended by staff. | City of Barrie, filed under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, ss.88.25 and 88.29 | August 19, 2026 | |

| O. Reg. 189/26 (amending O. Reg. 530/22, Part VI.1 of the Act) Filed June 22, 2026, and consolidated into O. Reg. 530/22, which is why the two are cited together. Section 11 bars the mayor from appointing a chief administrative officer, reorganizing City departments, or proposing over-$50,000 by-laws under s. 284.11.1, once it is known that the new council will have a different mayor or fewer than three-quarters returning members. Section 7(1.1) lets the budget for the year after an election be proposed only in that year. | Government of Ontario — e-Laws | August 18, 2026 | |
| O. Reg. 580/22 (prescribed provincial priorities) The two priorities the veto and by-law-proposal powers are tied to: 1.5 million new homes by 2031, and infrastructure to support housing (transit, roads, utilities, servicing).

| Proclamation Declaring the Representation Order to be in Force (SI/2013-102) Split Barrie into two ridings for the first time: "Barrie-Innisfil" (ED #4, the southern part of the city plus Innisfil) and "Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte" (ED #5, the northern part plus Springwater and part of Oro-Medonte), each defined by a line running Dunlop Street West to Tiffin Street to Lakeshore Drive. First contested in the 2015 general election. | Government of Canada | August 17, 2026 | |
| Proclamation Declaring the Representation Order to be in Force (SI/2023-57) Renamed "Barrie-Innisfil" to "Barrie South-Innisfil" (ED #4) and revised "Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte" (ED #5) to run the dividing line to Kempenfelt Bay. First contested in the 2025 general election. Ontario did not adopt this federal boundary provincially, so from 2025 the two levels of government use DIFFERENT names for the same southern Barrie seat -- federally "Barrie South-Innisfil", provincially still "Barrie-Innisfil". | Government of Canada | August 17, 2026 | |
| Proclamation Declaring the Representation Order to be in Force as of the First Dissolution of Parliament that Occurs After May 1, 2004 (SI/2003-154) Electoral district #4, "Barrie": "that part of the County of Simcoe comprised of the City of Barrie" -- the whole city in one riding, first contested in the 2004 general election. | Government of Canada | August 17, 2026 | |
| Representation Act, 2015 (Schedule 1 to the Electoral Boundaries Act, 2015, S.O. 2015, c. 31) Adopted the 2013 federal Representation Order's riding boundaries for provincial use starting with the 2018 general election -- which is why "Barrie-Innisfil" and "Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte" exist provincially too, and why the two levels' boundaries diverged only when the federal map was redrawn again in 2023 and Ontario did not follow. | Legislative Assembly of Ontario | August 17, 2026 | |

How this section is built: generated from the source registry, the site’s index of every document it holds. This table is not maintained by hand — it is read out of the same data the site's pages read, so it cannot list a source the site does not hold, or omit one it does.
What counts as a source
A figure with no source does not go on this site. Not temporarily, and not with a promise to fill it in. Where a number could only be found in news reporting, it stays off the page until it can be traced to the document underneath it.
Two consequences worth stating plainly. Unknown is not zero — a figure nobody published renders as "not available", never as a blank or a nought. And a derivation is not an attested figure: where this site calculates something, it is marked and the calculation is given, so you can disagree with it.
Found something wrong, or know where a missing document lives? Corrections explains how to say so.
