CANDIDATE DEBATE AT BANK THEATRE

Three of the seven Chatham-Kent Leamington candidates for the upcoming provincial election faced off in a friendly debate at The Bank Theatre on Monday 16.

The event was organized by the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with The Bank Theatre and about 54 interested voters attended.

Bank Theatre President Corey Robertson served as moderator and asked a series of questions to each candidate, with rebuttals allowed from the other two participants. Rick Nicholls, left, current MPP for Chatham-Kent Leamington, representing the Ontario Party, was part of the panel along with Audrey Festerygafor the Liberals (middle) and Brock McGregor for the NDP. The other candidates either did not respond to the Chamber’s invitation or declined to participate.
