The Mount Pearl-Paradise Chamber of Commerce is hosting a meet the candidates event Monday morning for the federal riding of Cape Spear.

It will feature a moderated question and answer session with each of the candidates, and questions from those in the room.

The five candidates include:

• CURTIS, Corey (Conservative)
• OSBORNE, Tom (Liberal)
• PEACH, Mike (Animal Protection Party)
• TINGATE, Kaelem (Green Party)
• WALSH, Brenda (NDP-New Democratic Party)

Chamber executive director Wanda Palmer says it’s an important election for the chamber and its members.

She says they are hearing a lot about who is running, but not a lot of answers to questions that matter to them. Palmer says there are a lot of issues left on the “backburner” such as economic recovery, infrastructure and taxation. She hopes the event yields answers to those questions.

The event is set for 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Monday at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Mount Pearl.

All are welcome to attend, but the Chamber is asking people to register in advance.
