IN West Vancouver its a four-way mayor's race,

although all the faces are familiar. In the District of

North Vancouver it’s a three-way race but two of the

faces will be new to most voters. The district is also the

scene of the most crowded council race: 20 candidates

are competing for seven seats. Whereever the race, the

challenge facing the newcomers remains the same:

How do I get my face and message in front of the vot-

ers? In the past Shaw Cable, and : subsequently Rogers

Cable, managed to stage five all-candidate debates

rior to municipal elections that aired more than once.

Not this time around. Instead, Rogers will be providing an opportuaity for mayoral

candidates to appear once (see story below) and for council and school beard can-

didates to record two-mitute speeches. Director of television programming Rob

Carver says Rogers does not have the resources to provide live debates for all 21

municipalities in the region and that, with the planned programming, some areas
will be getting better election coverage than in the past.

How are we going to find
out about the candidates?
Through the paper, I guess,
although I never vote any-
way — you never get what
you want.

I think they should. It’s
good for the public to see
the candidates and hear their

opinions, otherwise we'd

only be guessing.
