The only all-candidates meeting to take place in North Grenville during this federal election campaign takes place in the Urbandale Arts Centre in the Municipal Centre, on Thursday night, September 17. All four candidates have confirmed they will be taking part in the event, which is being sponsored by the NG Times. Doors open at 6:15 pm, and there will be a meet-andgreet in the lobby before the meeting begins. The event will start at 7 pm and we hope to have everything wrapped
up before 10 pm. The intent of the meeting is to hear from the candidates on local, as well as national, issues in as informal and interactive a format as possible. Emotions can run high during an election campaign, and this one has been no exception. However, we are hoping and expecting that the all-candidate meeting can be marked by good humour, serious discussion and a good level of debate by all. Questions for the candidates may be submitted to the NG Times in advance by
e-mailing editor@ngtimes.ca. Written questions can also be submitted before and during the meeting, and there will be an opportunity for live questions as well. The NG Times has also conducted 30-minute interviews with each of the candidates over the past few weeks, and these are available to watch on our web page: www. ngtimes.ca. These conversations are desiogned to allow voters to watch the candidates speak informally and without notes, in a relaxed setting. The conversations are be-
ing rebroadcast by COGECO at the following times, for those who receive the community channel on their TV: Gord Brown, Conservative Party, September 17 at 8 pm and September 27 at 7:30 pm. Mary Jean McFall, Liberal Party, September 17 at 8:30 pm and September 26 at 8 pm. Lorraine Rekmans, Green Party, September 17 at 9 pm and September 25 at 9:30 pm. Margaret Andrade, NDP, September 17 at 9:30 pm and September 23 at 7 pm.
