United Way and local chamber to host federal election candidates forum

The United Way Huron-Perth and the Huron Chamber of Commerce are set to host a candidates forum for the upcoming federal election.

On Wednesday, April 23 from 6-8:30 p.m., the Clinton Town Hall Auditorium will welcome the Huron-Bruce candidates for the federal election and give voters a chance to ask them questions and interact with them.

This is a non-partisan public event, and is not a debate or an on-stage question period. Candidates will move around the room to interact in small group discussions.

Volunteers will moderate the group discussions and participants will have the opportunity to speak directly to candidates on a range of issues that are important to them and the community. Participants can attend an online prep session in the week leading up to the event.

Community members can register at huronchamber.ca/election-connections or by contacting Will Wellington at 519-271-7730.
