The only live *and* interactive debate this election

When: Monday, October 4, 7 pm
Where: http://soonews.ca

SooNews.ca and ChangeCamp Sault break new ground by offering Saultites the first ever online interactive debate. Your questions take centre stage. Don’t make us talk about the weather. Fill it up with the stuff you care about. 

All four Mayoral candidates have agreed to the debate. We’ll be in for a good show as the candidates of Jamie Caccio, Julie Hryniewicz , Debbie Amoroso and Ron Schinners meet for the first time face to face in a live debate. Throw in Andy Martens for unexpected twists and turns. 

ChangeCamp will handle the live chat, which will allow viewers to ask and post questions in real time from the online viewing audience. You don’t have to wait until Oct 4 to post your questions. Actually, you’ll have a much better chance of getting them asked if you post them now. Curious how it works? Here’s how the Guelph Mercury did their online mayoral debate.

Questions needed: how to include yours

Got a question for those wanting to be mayor? Submit them:

• Ahead of time. Post them to the question forum. Vote on other questions. The top vote getters are most likely to be asked.
• During the debate. Ask them in the live chat, or send them to @changecampsault on Twitter.

We know you’ve got great ideas for this community too, and the election is a great time to get ‘em out. Things like:

• local agriculture food store
• giant pillow fight
• free post-secondary education

What’s yours?

The program will also be available for on demand viewing following the show.
