Mayhew [a resident] said that it is unfortunate that community discussions like this forum only happen when there is an election around the corner. She would like to see more community discussions about social planning issues." Waterloo Region Record By Anam Latif
Good conversations with 19 municipal candidates.
Below you will find links to all the backgrounders and questions on the issues we offered for discussion, notes taken during conversations and closing videos of the presentations made by the candidates in response to what they heard at different tables.

- Community Social Planning
- Civic Engagement
- Strong Neighbourhoods
- Accessibility and Inclusion
- Poverty Elimination
- Access to Information
- Digital Inclusion
