About 100 people showed up at the Castlegar Community Complex in Castlegar Wednesday night to listen to candidates for mayor and council talk about environmental issues.
One mayoral candidate — Deb McIntosh — and eight of the 11 council candidates — Janna Sylvest, Florio Vassilakakis, Dan Rye, Bergen Price, Maria McFaddin, Tyler Maddocks, Nicole Hergert and Sue Heaton-Sherstibitoff — showed up.
Among the topics discussed were housing, transportation, and how the municipal government could and should adapt to a changing climate. The meeting was hosted by the West Kootenay EcoSociety along with partner groups Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Kootenay Family Place, and St. David’s Anglican Church.
