The Mission council all-candidates forum brought together 19 of the 27 people running for council ahead of the Oct. 17 municipal election, with attendees answering questions on a range of local issues at Clarke Theatre.
What was discussed at the forum
The event featured candidates answering questions about local concerns such as housing, infrastructure, public safety, and services for residents.

The forum aimed to give voters a sense of each candidate’s priorities and approach to governance during the upcoming term.
Who is affected by local council decisions
Residents of Mission will be affected by decisions on zoning, public services, road maintenance, and community programs. Municipal elections influence who makes budget choices and sets policy that impacts property taxes, service levels, and development in the town.
Practical next steps for voters
Voters should review candidate platforms, attend or view forum material, and check official election resources for candidate statements and voting procedures. After the election, residents can monitor council meetings, submit feedback, and participate in public consultations to influence local policy.
Limits of the information and questions to ask
The available report summarizes forum participation and topics discussed but may not cover every candidate’s stance. Voters should seek direct statements from candidates and official municipal sources to verify positions on specific issues such as budget figures or development projects.
