The Tribune seized the opportunity to ask each of the candidates the following two questions:

Can you tell us something about yourself and why you want a seat on council?

What is the biggest challenge and or opportunity facing Williams Lake?

Councillor candidate Craig Smith was absent so the Tribune will follow up with him to give him the opportunity to answer the questions for posting on the Tribune’s Facebook page in the future.

General voting day is Saturday, Oct. 20. There are advanced voting opportunities at city hall on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and Wednesday, Oct. 17. For all three days, the hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The chamber also produced candidate video interviews and posted them last weekend.
