Not Your Average Mayoral Debate took place last night at The Vic Theatre and was a great success. Thanks to the candidates who participated, our moderator, and the DRA board members and staff who planned and hosted the event.

Thanks for making this happen. What was missing for me were follow up questions when candidates made motherhood statements without being asked “how would you make this happen“
our first municipal election as Victoria residents, it seems Marianne Alto is head and shoulders above the other candidates, in regard to experience and knowledge. The first question re: climate action. Both Stephen and Brendan addressed car exhaust only, which from observation is being dealt already via alternate forms of vehicles. Marianne addressed buildings and construction- this is paramount to mitigate the effects of climate change.
