As election day draws near, candidates are working to reach every voter they can. Voters in the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding will have an opportunity to connect with their local candidates at an upcoming all-candidates meeting in Sooke.
The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce and the Otter Point, Shirley, Jordan River Residents and Ratepayers Association will host the event at Sooke Community Hall on Sunday, April 13, starting at 1 p.m.
Candidates Maja Tait (NDP), Stephanie McLean (Liberal), Ben Homer-Dixon (Green) Grant Cool (Conservative), Nikita Heurtier (PPC) and Robert Crooks (Communist) are expected to take part.
"This event offers an important opportunity for residents to hear directly from the candidates, ask questions, and engage in discussions about the future of our region," said Deb Schnek, the executive director of the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce.
