C.A.R.E. Stratford's All Candidates Meeting

Thursday September 13th, 7pm-9pm
Kiwanis Community Centre
111 Lakeside Dr.
Stratford, ON

C.A.R.E. Stratford is proud to host a debate where all provincial political party candidates may give their party positions, and respond to questions on environmental issues. The debate will be held from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm on Thursday September 13th, at the Kiwanis Centre, 111 Lakeside Drive, Stratford and will be followed by information about the referendum on the Mixed Member Proportional voting system.

Solutions to Ontario's needs in the areas of energy, water, environmental education and sustainability are all-important, and it is critical that local citizens have an opportunity to understand the political parties' positions, and hear responses to their own questions.
"An all candidates meeting provides voters with the opportunity to interact with local candidates in much the same way as a job interview facilitates hiring the most suitable employee." said moderator Charlene Gordon. There will be an opportunity for audience members to submit questions to be directed at individual candidates.

C.A.R.E. Stratford, Common Action for the Restoration of the Environment Stratford, is a non-profit organization started at Stratford Central Secondary School that has been very active in raising awareness about environmental challenges.
