Elections 2022 – Edition 8

All Candidates Meeting

As per Muskoka Ratepayers’ Association tradition the MRA held an All Candidates Meeting on September 24^th, 2022.  This meeting gave all Candidates running for election a chance to speak directly to voters and express their views and opinions.  All those running for Township seats were given three minutes to speak, while those running for the position of Mayor were given five minutes.  All acclaimed District Councillors were also given an  opportunity to speak.

The MRA was pleased to see that close to 100 people attended the meeting to educate themselves on the candidates.  Following hearing from the candidates, questions submitted by those in attendance which had been vetted by the MRA, were posed to the candidates.

As well as holding the ACM, the MRA sent all those running for election, regardless of the position, a list of questions which we asked candidates to reply to.  Following the ACM these questions and answers were circulated to our membership.  As a public service, the MRA also circulated these questions and answers at a later time to those who signed up at the ACM to receive them.

The MRA is proud of the stance we take at election time.  As an association we provide our members with information on each candidate, and ask that all voters make up their own minds on who to vote for.
