Candidate Forum
Progressive Port Phillip invited all candidates for the upcoming council elections to a candidate forum for each ward. The forums were public Zoom events open to all. We saw them as an opportunity for all candidates to present their platforms and respond to questions from residents in their wards. All candidates were given equal time to present. The Canal Ward Candidate Forum was held on Saturday September 26, 2020 at 5pm - 7pm. You can watch it here:
