Tri-City politicians show what they own, owe in disclosure forms

While municipal halls in the Tri-Cities provided the annual disclosures for civic politicians, School District 43 (SD43) is not allowing the public and media to copy or take notes about its forms.

Financial disclosures are now out for Tri-Cities’ elected officials, showing their current assets, liabilities and sources of income.

And while municipal halls are sharing the forms from politicians, School District 43 (SD43) is preventing the public and media from copying or writing down details about the trustees representing Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra.

Today, Jan. 20, the Tri-City News was invited to the SD43 offices to review the annual disclosure statements but was banned from taking photos or jotting notes about the information gathered under the provincial government’s Financial Disclosure Act.

SD43 assistant superintendent Stephen Whiffin, who is responsible for freedom of information requests, said through a representative that SD43 disclosures are for inspection only and “providing a copy or allowing for copying would constitute a breach of privacy.”

Whiffin did not immediately return a further request for comment.

The financial disclosure statements are meant to provide transparency and avoid potential conflicts of interest within a public institution.

Here’s the breakdown of the basic information that civic officials gave before the Jan. 15, 2025, deadline; elected officials do not include their primary address or holdings outside of B.C.:
