All-candidates forum will go virtual

The provincial election will be different than those in the past due to COVID-19 and that includes a staple of elections, the all-candidate forums.

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce will hold a virtual forum to ensure its members and residents can hear directly from those seeking to represent Vernon-Monashee in Victoria.

It will happen via Zoom Thursday, October 8 at 6 p.m. Details on registration will be released at a later date.

“The Chamber has a long history of hosting all-candidate forums and we believe it is particularly important for local voters to hear the vision of the candidates and the parties as our community, families and economy navigate the pandemic,” said Krystin Kempton, Greater Vernon Chamber president.

“The Chamber’s membership consists of businesses of all sizes, as well as non-profit organizations, and they will closely follow the policy platforms and determine which one best addresses the current challenges and the steps towards recovery.”
