The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) and Nanaimo Regional Hospital District (NRHD) will be co-hosting four candidate forums leading up to the October 19, 2024, provincial election. One forum will take place in each of the following four electoral districts: Mid Island-Pacific Rim, Ladysmith-Oceanside, Nanaimo- Lantzville and Nanaimo-Gabriola.
These free forums will provide residents with the opportunity to hear Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) candidates speak on various election topics that matter to the community. Residents are invited to attend in person and to submit proposed questions in advance for their MLA candidates. The participating candidates will answer questions selected from these advance submissions during the forum. Please note that questions will not be taken from the floor during the forum. The RDN will invite all candidates to participate in the forums; however, not all may be able to attend.
