The Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce is holding their first election forum tomorrow.

It's your chance to hear RM of Dauphin council hopefuls in person.

Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota, explains why they are holding this forum.

“We want to have an opportunity for candidates to address the residents and the businesses that they are going to be serving and then vice versa. We’re also accepting questions from the public. We’re going to do our best to get through as many questions as we possibly can at the forums so that everyone has the opportunity to hear many different platforms from all the candidates.”

He says the format for the evening only includes prepared questions.

“We found that with past events that we’ve done that this format works pretty well. We want to stay away from a single candidate or few candidates getting singled out. We want everyone to have an opportunity to speak on matters. And we want to keep everything very fair and not have harassment or anything vulgar come up on the microphone.”

You can send in your own questions for the candidates by going to city hall or by going online to the chamber website.

The RM forum takes place tomorrow at 7 in the evening at the Lion’s Den in the Rec Centre.

A forum for the city council hopefuls is taking place next Tuesday.
