Clearwater and District Chamber of Commerce and Clearwater-North Thompson Times are once again cooperating to put on an all candidates forum for the upcoming federal election.
Cathy McLeod, a Conservative and the incumbent Member of Parliament for the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding, has confirmed she will attend.
Also confirmed are challengers Bill Sundhu of the NDP, Steve Powrie of the Liberals, and Green Party candidate Matt Greenwood.
The format will follow that used in previous elections: short introductions by each candidate, to be followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience, and then closing comments by each candidate.
An informal meet-and-greet will end the evening.
The all-candidates’ forum will be held at Dutch Lake Community Centre on Thursday evening, Sept. 24, starting at 7 p.m.
The federal election will be held Monday, Oct. 19.
