A local non-profit organization is finding out where the candidates stand on critical community issues just weeks away from the Oct. 15 civic elections.
The Community Foundation North Okanagan has issued questions on several topics to the City of Vernon candidates in an effort to help residents learn more about the issues and to encourage more people to vote.
“As a part of our vital signs program and report, we regularly examine the important issues affecting North Okanagan citizens and the region,” Leanne Hammond, executive director of the Community Foundation, said. “For election purposes, we have chosen to focus on five critical areas; environmental, social, cultural, economic, and health.”
The organization received responses from 12 of the 13 Vernon councillor candidates and from two of the three for mayor.
