Candidates for mayor, Frank Armitage and Rosemary Doughty as well as councillor candidates Doug Pateman and Rob Rubis met with voters on July 31 during the All Candidates meeting hosted by the Princeton and District Chamber of Commerce. Keith Olsen and Lori Thomas emceed the evening. The evening was an opportunity for voters to ask questions of the candidates. The topics of concern were; the largest being of Princeton’s health care crisis, the environment, an aquatics center, local government spending, low cost housing, support of arts & culture, attraction of business and families to Princeton, support of local business and cost of shopping locally. Each candidate was given a timed segment to answer questions both written in and directly from the floor. At the end of the meeting, candidates gave closing statements and voters were then able to speak with them individually if desired. REMINDER: Voting day for the municipal by-election is this coming Saturday, August 11, 2012 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, 170 Bridge Street.
