In order to CHANGE politics rebuilding DEMOCRACY is necessary. The first step towards change is for all municipal candidates to have a chance to be heard by the public. This debate provides this equal opportunity for all candidates to have fair coverage.

There will be an ‘Idea Bank’ collecting questions around the theme of re-democratizing by improving “Services, Transparency, Accountability and Representation (STAR) which will be presented to the candidates in a fair way. Any one wishing to help select questions please contact the organizer.
All media is welcome to attend and encouraged to offer all candidates equal coverage. Live Internet coverage will make this event available to most viewers including mayoral candidates from other cities. Confirmed attendees will be emailed a detailed program. The program includes the profiles and priorities of the mayoral candidates.

To attend, sponsor, or volunteer for the live event, please contact the organizer. Only 200 seats are available so the public is advised to reserve their seats in advance. Citizens with mobility, audio or visual limitations should arrive 15 minutes earlier. Simultaneous sign language interpretation will be provided from the stage.
