The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society is hosting a federal election all-candidates meeting for the Chilliwack-Hope riding at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m.
This forum will provide a platform for members of the community to pose questions to the local parliamentary candidates.
The event will be moderated by Chilliwack Progress editor Paul Henderson who will pose questions to the candidates that have been submitted by the public prior to the debate, as well as field questions from audience attendees.

As one of the few pre-election meetings in Chilliwack-Hope open to the public, and with expected attendance from all five of the local election candidates, this event will be a key opportunity to engage on federal election issues.
All community members are encouraged to attend, however, capacity is limited to 280 people, including candidates. Entry will be by donation, with all proceeds going towards The Centre’s Angel Fund; a program that provides Arts & Crafts classes for local youth that may not otherwise be able to afford to attend.
This event will also be live-streamed.
Tickets are by donation, and registration is required. For more information, and to register, contact the Centre Box Office, online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or by calling 604-391-SHOW(7469).
