The Thompson Public Library is hosting a pre-election event tomorrow evening that is intended to give Thompsonites the chance to gain a very different perspective of those hoping to be elected.  

 

Cheryl Davies, from the Library, spoke to Arctic Radio News and said that their speed dating with the candidate’s event will run tomorrow evening from 7:00pm until 9:00pm at the Thompson Public Library.  

 

She said that 25 of the 34 candidates running for office will be in attendance, and that each one will be at their own table. Those who attend the event will get between two and three minutes with each candidate, giving the opportunity to engage those who want their votes. 

 

Davies says that the event is an opportunity for transparency, and hopes that it will help voters make up their minds for who they want to represent them over the next four years.

 

The final pre-election event is slated for Wednesday, as the Ma Mow We Tak Friendship Centre will host a mayoral candidates forum starting at 7:00pm.  

 

Election Day is October 24th (next Wednesday), and the final advance poll is taking place this Wednesday (October 17th) from 8:00am until 8:00pm at City Hall.
