"The public is invited to meet and mingle with candidates for North Cowichan council Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the Crofton Seniors Centre.

This informal gathering runs from 3-5 p.m. at the foot of Joan Avenue. There will be no speeches from candidates, and attendees will have the chance to talk one-on-one with the hopefuls.

"Take this opportunity to come and get to know a bit about these new candidates before you cast your vote. Make your vote an informed one," organizers said." - Cowichan Valley Citizen
