To help people determine who they’re going to vote for in the October 19 provincial election, VIU Students’ Union and VIU Political Science program hosted an All Candidates Forum last week.
This is program is part one of a two-part report on the VIUSU All Candidate Forum from October 8. Part two will feature the Nanaimo-Gabriola Island candidates.
The candidates were asked five key questions VIUSU gathered from students at the university. The topics covered, housing, food security, Truth and Reconciliation, tuition, and mental health resources.
For the Nanaimo-Lantzville riding, the event featured BC NDP candidate George Anderson, Conservative Party of BC candidate Gwen O’Mahony and BC Green Party candidate Lia Versaevel to discuss topics important to post-secondary students.
