All residents of the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke federal riding are invited by Pearson College United World College (UWC) to an all-candidates forum on their campus in Metchosin on Wednesday September 18. Doors open at 7:00 pm, debate begins at 7:30 pm.
“We invite everyone in the constituency – from Jordan River to Quadra Village – to join us on campus for this excellent opportunity to learn more about the candidates and their party platforms,” said President and Head of Pearson College Désirée McGraw.
Pearson students from across Canada and around the world will take part in this community event to learn more about politics and elections, Canadian-style.
The Canadian federal election is set for Monday October 21.
On the Pearson College campus, the event will be held in the Max Bell Centre at 650 Pearson College Dr.
Candidates who have been invited to speak are incumbent Randall Garrison (New Democratic Party of Canada), Jamie Hammond (Liberal Party of Canada), David Merner (Green Party of Canada), and Randall Pewarchuk (Conservative Party of Canada).
Major issues during the federal election campaign are generally thought to be climate change and green tech, jobs and the economy, and overall affordability.
This event will likely follow the long-established format of introductions, debate, and discussion, including the taking of questions from the audience.
