Hello neighbours,
Sandra Marin from the Grandview Community League with help from the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues has organized a candidate forum for the upcoming October 18th election municipal election.
As you probably know, the City has changed from numbered to named wards and Malmo Plains is now in the Papastew ward (pronunced: Pah-Pah-Stay-Oh). For your reference, please see the map here: https://www.edmonton.ca/public-files/assets/document?path=PDF/papastew_ward_map.pdf
Ideally this would have been an in-person event with microphones available for attendees to ask questions. Sadly, the fourth wave of COVID-19 currently overwhelming our hospitals makes that impossible so instead, there will be an online Zoom conference. When registering for the meeting, you will be able to submit a question. Note that the moderator may group similar themed questions to allow as many questions as possible to be addressed.
The event will start at 7:00 p.m on Wednesday September 29 and end at 9:00 p.m. Organizers will do their best to “admit” attendees quickly into the meeting room but it is advisable to join on time to ensure there is time for this to happen.
Only the candidates and moderator will be invited to turn on their cameras and microphones. Each candidate will have the opportunity to share opening and closing comments, as well as answer questions.
The organizers will do their best to ask as many questions as time allows and ask for your patience and understanding if do do not get to your question. Please post your question when you complete the registration form. During the event, questions may be posted in the chat box but time may not permit these questions to he addressed.
Note that the screen name of all participants, the moderator, and candidates will be visible to all participants. Please do not turn on your microphone or camera. If someone intentionally breaks the rules, they may be removed from the virtual forum.
