About 250 people attended a municipal candidates event at the newly renovated Festival Hall in Pembroke.
14 of the 15 candidates running for a seat on Pembroke City Council had an opportunity to speak directly to residents last night (October 14th, 2022).
Questions were submitted by community members who attended.
Candidates were asked about their vision for the City of Pembroke with other questions about affordable housing, the doctor shortage, the pool, drug use in the city, the COVID-19 pandemic and the landslide affecting homes on Moffat Street.
The candidates evening was recorded live by YourTV Ottawa Valley you can watch here.
The candidates event was made possible thanks to local sponsors Pembroke Mitsubishi, Hyundai Pembroke, Family Auto Rentals and Ottawa Valley Yamaha Motor Sports and Marine.
