Perth voters will get a chance to hear directly from municipal election candidates at an all-candidates event Oct. 8.
The Perth & District Chamber of Commerce is hosting the session from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Studio Theatre Perth on Gore Street East.
The Town of Perth currently lists four candidates for mayor, three for deputy mayor and 11 seeking five council seats.
The Chamber says discussion will centre on four issues important to the local business community: permitting, staffing, childcare and housing.
Members of the public can submit questions tied to those topics ahead of the event.
The event is free and open to everyone, although advance registration is encouraged because seating is limited.
A meet-and-greet with candidates will follow the main session.
YourTV Cogeco will also record the evening.
Perth’s voting period runs from Oct. 19 through Oct. 26, with ballots cast by internet or telephone.
