Voters in the Nanaimo–Ladysmith riding will have the chance to hear directly from local candidates ahead of the upcoming provincial election at an all-candidates meeting.
The public event will take place Wednesday, April 23, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Coast Bastion Hotel in downtown Nanaimo (11 Bastion St). Admission is free.
Hosted by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association–Vancouver Island and the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce, the evening aims to offer a fair and informative platform for all declared candidates in the riding.
The format will include moderated questions posed to each candidate, with time allotted for audience questions. Organizers say the event is not a debate, but a forum for candidates to share their views and respond to key issues, with equal speaking time for all participants.
All confirmed candidates in the Nanaimo–Ladysmith riding have been invited to take part.
