Please note that the City does not facilitate candidate campaigns, meetings or debates. It is our responsibility to work to ensure the integrity of the voting process including remaining impartial as to the slate of candidates.

Traditionally, business organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce or DBIA and other community groups coordinate and facilitate debate evenings or town-hall style meetings for nominees to participate in.  These events are usually advertised in local media and residents are encouraged to visit their websites for further information.  

 
You are always welcome to reach out to each of the candidates using the contact information provided on the list of certified candidates page.
