Mark Your Calendar for the All Candidates Forum

All Candidates Forum
When:Mon Oct 6 7:30pm–9pm

Where: TBA (Please check back closer to the time)

Description

The purpose of this forum is to provide a space for the candidates to engage in conversations on specific social issues in the areas of Child poverty and Child care, Poverty reduction, and Housing, Women’s issues, and Immigration issues.

The Candidates Forum will consist of four parts: Roundtable discussions, Candidates report back, Questions from the floor, and Candidates summary remarks.

This forum is an alternative to the traditional format because we see the value in allowing candidates to hear from their voters the concerns in the community.

We've sent an e-mail to the candidates campaigns to find out more information, check back for updates.

*********************
Not sure if everyone is aware of Riding Talk for Vancouver-Kingsway on CBC's Election blog. I'd certainly like to see more of a dialgue on there about the issues impacting our riding.

I love your blog and will check back from time to time for more information.

Now days it’s so easy for some candidates or their supporters to set up a faceless blog to shield their identities so they can throw mud at their opponents.

Yes, technology has made it easy, but as a society we have to ask ourselves if we really want to go down that road?

Keep on good work, keep on good work.
