Listening session planned for federal candidates
The Chamber is planning a federal election event for Greater Victoria.
“We’re going to hold a ‘Listening Session,’ which has worked well at focusing discussion on specific challenges facing our region,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said.
The event, called Canada Votes 2025, is scheduled for April 16, from 5-7 pm. The format will feature a panel of four candidates representing our region’s four ridings as well as the major political parties. They’ll be introduced to local issues facing various business sectors and asked to discuss potential solutions based on their party’s platforms.
Community partners joining The Chamber include Destination Greater Victoria, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, Vancouver Island Construction Association, and the Downtown Victoria Business Association.
With the federal election set for April 28, a listening session allows for a focused discussion on local issues that will complement general campaign information already widely available.
The Canada Votes 2025 Listening Session is free but space is limited so we encourage everyone to register early.
