The 1st half will be a debate for the Councillor candidates (4) who they have been able to contact and invite. The debate will run from 7 to 8 PM
The 2nd half will be a debate for the Public (5) and Catholic (1) trustee candidates who they have been able to contact and invite.
There are important education issues that need attention, that is why they are having the trustee candidates included in their debate program. It will begin at 8 PM so that people may also attend the boundary meeting at Garden PS starting at 6:30 PM – click here for more info.

Olivia Chow, John Tory, Doug Ford and Ari Goldkind will be in attendance.
The event will be a town hall format rather than a debate:
