The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board host an all-candidates forum with representatives from both the Maple Ridge-Mission and Abbotsford-Mission riding.

The event will give the community an opportunity to get to know the candidates for the 2017 provincial election.

This forum takes place May 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Clarke Foundation Theatre (33700 Prentis Ave.). Candidates will be given questions prepared by a panel representing the Mission business community.

The chamber will reach out to its members to assist in formulating the questions and encourages all businesses to bring their questions forward to the panel.

“It’s important for not only our membership but all members of the business community to voice our concerns and determine where our candidates stand on how the province plays a role in the success of business in Mission,” said Tony Luck, the chamber’s government affairs committee chair.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the candidates in person and to evaluate their responses to important issues for Mission businesses,” he added.

Forward your questions for the candidates to info@missionchamber.bc.ca before the deadline of April 25.
