Join us for a Community Dinner and engage in a dynamic discussion in the heart of Fernwood

Be part of the first all-candidates meeting for the Victoria Beacon Hill riding, hosted by Fernwood NRG on Monday, September 23, 2024. The event will take place in the gym at the Fernwood Community Centre (1240 Gladstone Avenue) from 6:30-8:00pm, right after our weekly community dinner starting at 5:30pm. Dinner is by donation—everyone is welcome to join for a meal before the candidates take the stage!

Michael Newman, community journalist and mindfulness meditation facilitator, will be our Master of Ceremonies, guiding the conversation and ensuring a lively and engaging event.

This is a unique opportunity to meet and hear from the confirmed candidates:
– Sonia Furstenau, BC Green Party
– Grace Lore, BC NDP
– Tim Thielmann, Conservative Party

As a community that values engagement on what matters most, we are thrilled to provide this platform for local residents to ask questions, hear from the candidates, and actively participate in shaping the future of our neighbourhood. Whether it’s your first time attending a candidates’ meeting or you’re a political enthusiast, you can expect lively and meaningful conversations.

Let’s come together in true Fernwood spirit—see you there!

Additionally, the community centre will also serve as a voting place starting on October 10, making this the perfect time to get informed.

We will have free child minding for folks during the event so parents and guardians can participate. To guarantee a spot, please fill out this form in advance.
