As every election, we will be hosting our participatory Meet the Candidates sessions where both the candidates and the community members have an opportunity to get together and talk in an informal atmosphere. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a common ground for people with different perspectives and views to talk about the issues and policy directions that provide decent lives for everyone in our communities.
During the first part of the evening everyone participates in roundtable discussions! Topics to start the conversations are identified in community work done by the Social Planning Council and members of the Poverty Free Kitchener-Waterloo:

• Affordable Housing
• Health Care
• Child Care
• Public Transit
• Seniors and Income Security 
• Immigration
