This dynamic all-candidates forum team for Mission Matsqui Fraser Canyon takes a no-nonsense approach to social service issues on Sept. 29 at the Clarke Theate in Mission.

The federal forum featuring a strong panel and compelling questions starts at 7 p.m. and everyone is welcome to watch the level of passion demonstrated by the candidates.

The organizing team consists of (back row, left to right) Dawn from Mission Association for Community Living,  Deborah from Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, Sanjay from Mission Community Services Society, (front row), Grace from Mission Friendship Centre and Karen from Fraser Valley Child Development Centre.

Moderator is Rick Rake and members of the public can suggest questions by emailing him at [email protected].

Candidates forums can be fashioned as a job interview for those who aspire to be Member of Parliament for the region.  Come and see how your favourite candidate performs.  This event is all about real people, real issues.

Sign language professionals will be at the forum to support the hearing impaired.  Clarke Theatre is also wheelchair accessible.
