KTW to host forum ahead of civic election KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
RUNNING WILD
Re-Elect Christian for Mayor
Kamloops This Week will be hosting an all-candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University during the week of the civic election. The free public event will be held on Monday, Oct. 15, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the Grand Hall on the second floor of the Campus Activity Centre. To accommodate a lengthy list of candidates, the format will include five mini-forums, 25 minutes each in length. The mayoral candidates will be up first, offering two-minute opening statements before answering questions from the audience and wrapping up with closing remarks. Councillor candidates will follow, but will get one-minute statements. Councillor candidate groups will be drawn at random immediately before the forum. The municipal election is on Oct. 20. Twenty-one people are running for one of eight councillor seats, while two are running for mayor.
