Election 2022: Schedule set for series of candidate debates
The new council will be inaugurated Tuesday night at the Court House Supplied

The schedule has been finalized for candidate debates in advance of the Oct. 24 municipal election.

The series of “meet and greet” meetings, organized by FocusNOTL, a grassroots political group in Niagara-on-the-Lake, will feature several two-hour debates.

All sessions will be at the Royal Canadian Legion hall, 410 King St., from 7 to 9 p.m. on each date.

Candidates will have 10 minutes to introduce themselves and present their platform, followed by a question-and-answer session. If time permits, candidates can mingle and speak to audience members one-on-one.

FocusNOTL is soliciting questions from the public and media organizations. Spokesperson Joe Accardo said people can email questions to notlelection2022@cogeco.ca.
