WHAT TO EXPECT

Never been to a Candi(date) event? Here's how things will go...

From 5:00 PM to 5:15 PM - Introductions

After a brief welcome from the event organisers, candidates have 1 minute each to introduce themselves to all of their prospective "dates" (attendees).

 

From 5:15 PM to 6:15 PM - The Speed Dating Sessions

You will self-select the candidates with whom you wish to "date" for each 10 minute speed-dating inspired session. You will join a small group of voters at each date with a candidate from the different federal political parties.

This face-time with candidates gives you the opportunity to ask questions on the issues that matter to them, and to find out more about what the candidates and parties stand for.

The event host will indicate when each speed dating session is completed, and you will then circulate to another candidate.

 

From 6:15 PM to 7:00 PM - Post-Date Salon

The latter half of the event will be a more relaxed salon atmosphere, where you can mingle and interact with electoral candidates as you please.

 

CANDI(DATE) is brought to you by Edmonton Next Gen and interVivos.
