I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed that there are not more opportunities to meet the candidates running for Mayor in the upcoming election.
Following is a list of the currently scheduled events:
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 11 - ALL CANDIDATES MEETING WARD 2 - 7PM - 10 PM, Wellington Square United Church, 2121 Caroline Street, Burlington
TUESDAY OCTOBER 17 - MAYORALTY CANDIDATES ON TVCOGECO CABLE 23, 8 - 9:30 PM. You can call in or email questions to vote2006@cogeco.com during the show
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18 - MAYORALTY CANDIDATES SPONSORED BY THE BURLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Breakfast meeting at 7:15 am at the Holiday Inn, South Service Road, Burlington. Members no charge, non-members $15.00 (must register in advance at 905 639-0174 - no walk ins)
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18 - ALL CANDIDATE MEETING WARD 1, 7 - 10 pm, Aldershot High School Auditorium
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 - ALL CANDIDATE MEETING WARD 5, 7- 9 PM, St. Elizabeth's United Church 5324 Bromley Road, Burlington
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 25 - ALL CANDIDATES FOR CHAIR OF HALTON REGION, 7- 9 pm, Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington
It appears to me that if you don't have Cogeco Cable and can't attend the Chamber of Commerce event (most people will be working), you are out of luck to be able to hear from our Mayoralty candidates vying for the most important position in this city.
There's still five weeks to go (and no events for scheduled for November), so maybe someone could set up an evening meeting when more people could attend. Making an informed decision as to who to vote for is fundementally essential for the future of Burlington.
However even if you can't get to a meeting....GET OUT AND VOTE!
