Councillors Mark Grimes and Justin Di Ciano face charges of municipal campaign finance violations relating to the 20-14 election, following an OPP investigation.

It’s alleged they had failed to disclose tens of thousands of dollars worth of spending.

They’re accused of filing ”incorrect” documents that don’t comply with the Municipal Elections Act, following that election.

OPP confirm the charges are related to polling research done leading up to the vote four years ago.

While Grimes was recently re-elected, Di Ciano did not run this time around after the province reduced the size of council.

If convicted, both could be looking at a $25,000 fine, be forced from office or barred from running in the next two municipal elections.

They’re to appear in court December 19th.
