Political forum season continues in Greater Vernon in early October.
The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce (GVC) and Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre (VDPAC) are co-hosting an election forum for all registered candidates in Vernon-Lumby riding for the Oct. 19 provincial election.
The forum takes place at VDPAC, Saturday, Oct. 5, from 2-3:30 p.m. and will be open to the public. For those unable to attend in person a live stream will be made available.
“The Greater Vernon Chamber believes it's crucial for voters to hear from all candidates and is proud to facilitate and provide a platform that enables this opportunity in support of the democratic process,” said chamber board president Kirndeep Nahal.
Chamber general manager Dan Proulx will moderate the forum, with GVC members being polled for questions, and questions can be submitted at the forum.
Questions will not be taken from the floor during the event.
The three candidates running in the riding have confirmed participation:
• Kevin Action - Independent (formerly BC United);
• Dennis Giesbrecht - BC Conservative Party;
• Harwinder Sandhu - BC New Democratic Party.
