“We are very pleased that the candidates representing the Conservative, Maverick,and Peoples Party of Canada have all agreed to participate in the Forum,” said Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. “This is a great opportunity for the constituents of the Yorkton-Melville riding to meet and listen to these candidates.” Invitations have been extended to the candidates representing the Green and Liberal parties but no response has been received by the Chamber from either candidate. The New Democrat candidate is unable to attend the Forum.
The format of the Forum will provide each candidate ample speaking time. Each candidate will be invited to deliver Opening Remarks and then will be invited to respond to questions from the Chamber which they received in advance of the Forum. The floor will then be open for questions from the Audience. “Audience members can write their questions on the cards provided and these will be drawn randomly by the Moderator,” said Polegi. She indicated that the Moderator will determine if a question is appropriate.
Polegi indicated the Forum is open to the public and there is no admission. She encourages everyone to attend the Forum.
