The Local Community Food Centre is hosting its Meet the Candidates event Wednesday, as part of their Community Connection: Federal Election Edition series.
Julie Docker Johnson, Community Connector for The Local, said all four candidates running for MP of Perth-Wellington are planning to attend.
“We are all one big community, they are just the people we are going to vote in to represent us, so we have to know how to have a conversation with them,” said Docker Johnson.
This is week two in the three-part educational series and offers attendees a chance to have meaningful, small-group discussions with each candidate around key issues that were identified from the opening week.
But in Docker Johnson’s opinion, it’s crucial to not only talk but to take action.
“The most important part of all of this, is that people vote so that their voices are heard.”
Meet the Candidates runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
