For the information of Penticton voters, a series of questions has been forwarded to all Mayoralty and City Council candidates. (The questions are listed below). We have requested that candidates respond by November 8 and their answers to be kept to a minimum of 250 words per question.
The questions are as follows:
1. What is your 10-20 year forward vision for Penticton? (i. e., what do you want Penticton to look and feel like?) How would you approach both developing and delivering that vision?
2. What are your proposals for fostering economic development and urban revitalization in Penticton? What are your specific priorities?
3. What role do you see for the Official Community Plan (OCP) in the City’s decision making? What adjustments, if any, would you propose?
4. What is your vision for Penticton’s downtown core (i.e. in 10 – 20 years) and what are your specific proposals?
5. Did you support the recent prison proposal? Do you continue to do so? Why or why not?
6. There are identified deficiencies in the Arts and Culture in Penticton. What would you do to remedy this?
7. Penticton’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan and OCP have both identified shortages of park land. What are your ideas for addressing this problem?
Prior to November 19, Candidates’ responses will be posted both on this blog and on the Visioning Penticton website. We invite all to read their answers. The goal is to gain further insight into their respective election platforms.
Thank you for reading the Visioning Penticton blog.

This is a great way to do a candidates' forum. I hope all the candidates respond, as you can't get much info from campaign signs and ads!
The other question that should be asked is: Do you support the city's present policy on culling wildlife? A simple 'Yes' or 'No' would suffice.
