The New Westminster Environmental Partners, in conjunction with the New Westminster BIA and Tenth to the Fraser Blog are pleased to announce an (and possibly the only) New Westminster All-candidates meeting and STV referendum information session for the upcoming Provincial Election.

New Westminster All-Candidates Meeting, May 6th, 2009 7-9pm

Decisions made in Victoria have a profound influence on our life in New Westminster. Provincial decisions affect our schools and hospitals, social programs and economic opportunites, transportation systems and choices. On May 12th the voters of New Westminster will decide who they will send to Victoria to represent all citizens of our City. The New Westminster Environmental Partners in collaboration with the New Westminster BIA and the Tenth to the Fraser Blog are hosting an All-Candidates meeting for citizens to find out more about the positions of the candidates in our riding. The All-Candidates meeting takes place on Wednesday May 6th, 7-9pm at Douglas College, in Room 2201 and there's no charge for entry. The candidates will be responding to prepared questions and there will be the opportunity for the public to direct questions to the candidates. The questions and discussion will be moderated by Chris Bryan, Editor of the New Westminster NewsLeader. The event will be concluded with an information session on the STV referendum question which will be appearing on this year's provincial election ballot. All voters in New Westminster are encouraged to attend this meeting.

Douglas College is within easy access of SkyTrain and frequent bus service, bike racks are available, and there is plenty of vehicle parking for a small fee.
