After the preliminary statements, the moderator will ask each candidate a general question. Once this round is concluded, each candidate will be asked to respond to previously submitted questions from the public.
The public is invited to register for this meeting by emailing the president of the QBRA, Doug MacKay-Dunn, at macdunn@uniserve.com. Once registered, the applicant’s name will be recorded, and a link to the meeting provided. Questions for the candidates should be sent in advance to the same email address. The councillor position became vacant when Adam Walker was voted the new MLA for Parksville-Qualicum.
