Conservative Scott Anderson (clockwise from top left), NDP Leah Main, Green Blair Visscher and Liberal Anna Warwick-Sears are running in the federal election for our riding.

Most local federal election candidates will be discussing climate and the environment at an online forum Friday.

The Sustainable Environment Network Society (SENS) is hosting a virtual all-candidates forum April 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom.

But Conservative Scott Anderson isn't expected to be at the event. Organizers were told he is not available.

The four Vernon鈥揕ake Country鈥揗onashee riding candidates have also been sent three additional questions, and their responses will be available at senssociety.org.all-events. That is also where voters can find the Zoom link and forum recording.

Election day is Monday, April 28.

"Voting gives you the power to create positive change for your community," SENS secretary-treasurer Julia Lissau said. "Please vote, and wisely."

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce is hosting a public forum Thursday, April 17 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for mingling with the candidates.

Chamber members have been sent an election issues survey, which can be accessed here.

"We'll use this survey to develop questions for next weeks All Candidates Forum," the chamber said.
