The Parkland Chamber of Commerce is hosting a candidates forum Wednesday night for voters in the Dauphin constituency.

Local candidates Gord Wood of the Progressive Conservatives and Ron Kostyshyn of the New Democrats will answer pre-submitted questions during the anticipated 90-minute event. 

Parkland Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Stephen Chychota says the event is ideal for anyone who is still undecided on who they will vote for on October 3rd.

"For anybody to get a little more insight into what are some of the issues and how the candidates are addressing things.  And even understanding a little bit more of the party's perspectives on certain items.  It is a good opportunity to check it out and see what the candidates are all about."

The forum begins at 7 p.m. at the Watson Arts Centre.

"We are going to have some intros by the candidates, and then questions that were submitted previously by the public.  So everything that is addressed by the candidates is current topics that residents of the Dauphin riding are concerned about.  We will get through as many as we possibly can." 

Chychota reminds those attending that there will not be an open mic session during the forum, but there will be brief periods before and after the forum for those in attendance to meet the candidates in person. 

He adds there will also be a members-only segment from 6 to 6:45 pm, where Parkland Chamber members will have the chance to meet and talk to the two candidates.
