DV Chamber of Commerce Hosts Candidate Meet & Greet

By Todd Curran
The Diamond Valley Chamber of Commerce welcomed one and all to their April 19th Federal Election Candidate Meet and Greet at the new Sheep River Library in Turner Valley.

With candidates Ted Menzies of the Conservatives, Attila Nagy of the Green Party, Independent Brad Carrington, Nicole Hankel of the Liberals and Janine Giles, NDP, in attendance, the event offered voters the opportunity to speak directly with the federal election candidates.

A sizable crowd turned out to ask candidates questions and express thoughts on what the priorities should be for the government of Canada. “It was a well attended event,” says Diamond Valley Chamber President Clayton Foster. “The candidates really enjoyed the one-on-one format, talking to constituents instead of debating each other from the stage. We put this on as a positive community event and with the feedback that we've received from voters, I think we achieved that.”

Make sure your voice is heard by casting your vote in the upcoming Federal Election on May 2nd.
