... attention must be paid*

Welcome to the Equinox

Wildfires, China, Elections ...the Future will be Here Tomorrow

Kimberley got pretty close to the future this summer: climate change is real. Mayor McCormick shares some the lessons we've learned about coping with potential disasters. He also talks a bit about the economic impact of our fire season.

On a brighter note, McCormick is off this month to China exploring opportunities (and funding resources) for making Kimberley a centre for international education. And the other good news is that 15 people are running for postionss on the city council. The age of  the candidates skews younger than the current council and their candidacies seem more focused toward building on what's been achieved .

In short, a full measure of challenges and opportunities.

Kimberley Elections

We've completed our discussions with candidates who accepted the offer below. Both mayoral candidates, two candidates for school trustee and 8 of the candidate for councillor sat down with us. There were, strangely, two no-shows and one candidate is ill. We now expect to have these recordings avail to you on Tuesday, October 9. We learned a lot ... hope you will too.

On September 27 we sent out the following email to candidates for council and mayor of Kimberley and trustee of the local school district:

Dear Candidate:

 

In the interest of encouraging Kimberley citizens to vote and of providing substantive and timely information about the candidates, we hope that you will accept the following offer:

Join us for a recorded conversation about your candidacy.

 

Next week—October 1 through 5—we will record those candidates who choose to participate. The video recording will not be edited, though identifying opens and closes will be added.

 

The completed programs will be posted on Monday, October 8, on our website and on e-Know’s site. Content for each participating candidate will be posted separately and may be linked to by anyone who so chooses.

 

Recording dates and times are available on a first-come-first-serve basis:

 

Monday, October 1 — 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Tuesday, October 2 — 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Wednesday, October 3 — 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Thursday, October 4 — 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM 
Friday, October 5 — 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM

 

Please schedule a recording slot by responding to this email or by calling Paula Gordon . Allow 20 minutes from arrival to departure. Our studio is located in central Kimberley. Providing alternative times will facilitate the scheduling process.

 

The actual duration of the recording will be 7 minutes. Up to 2 minutes are provided at the beginning for you to share your view of how your role as a councillor/trustee/mayor will benefit Kimberley and the region. The balance of the 7 minutes will be devoted to a discussion with you of that view. We will record with three cameras, each of which will be focused on the candidate.

 

We hope that you’ll join us.
