Here are the opening statements of the 7 candidates for Mayor for Port Alberni.
I apologize a) that I cut Ms. Solda off from her very first few words… bumbling with the iPad. 🙂 and b) that my iPad didn’t have enough juice after a long day to record the whole meeting. I did take copious notes… but most of those I will keep to myself.
In general, I thought the meeting was excellent. Â The room at the Barclay was packed. Â The Peak reported 100 people, I’d say it was likely more than that. Â It was standing room only.
The candidates all spoke well, some of course better than others, but all got their points across and made impressions on the crowd. Â The questions from the crowd were all good ones and I thought Mr. McRae did an excellent job moderating.
In all, a great night, I would highly recommend seeking someone out that was there if you want to hear more details. Â As I’ve said before I won’t be supporting one candidate or another as I must work and am committed to working with any one of them. Â But it was very interesting. Â If you’d like to chat please email me or PM on Facebook or give me a call. Â You can also leave your thoughts about the night here in the comments.
See you at the All Councillor Candidates meeting at the Steelworkers Hall on Tuesday, 7PM!
