Local Media: Mayoral Candidates

So in an attempt to clean up the blog feed I have compacted the past Local Media post into a couple of posts. The first is a Mayoral post of links to past articles about the candidates for mayor. The second post is links to past articles about council candidates.  From now on I will blog post of media stuff for the day instead of separately. This will make things nicer looking and easier for you the reader to keep tack of. I will try to include as many article links as possible, but if I miss any please leave a comment in the comments section below so that other users of the site can go to them. First off is links to past articles for Mayoral Candidates

Three more!

Hello all back here with another update from three Candidates. Thank you to Dorothy Friesen, Garth Frizzell, and Debora Munoz for being apart of this initiative. I hope to meet up with the candidates that have not responded  tonight at the forum that is being held at Cafe Voltaire which is in Books & Company on 2nd Ave. I hope to see lot of people there tonight and bring your questions. There is another Forum tomorrow night at the Ramada Inn starting at 6:00pm. This forum is being held by local newspaper The Prince George Citizen and will be a good one to attend. So if you can`t make it out tonight then try to attend the one tomorrow.

There has been a recent update to the forum page and a new forum has now been added. The new one is being held by the Prince George Chamber of Commerce and is on Nov 8th at 6:00pm at the College of New Caledonia. Thank you to Garth Frizzell for the comment on the forum page about the new forum. I’ve heard whispers that the Prince George Native Friendship Centre is looking at doing a forum, but it is just whispers and time is running out so I would not count on much happening there. Check out the forum page for other details and other forums that will be going on around the Prince George area.

Spread the words to your friends and family about this resource. The more people who visit the site the word will get out and people will have a place to read and make informed decisions. The vote is your to us, we just have to get out and use it. #iheartPG

Continued Growth

Well it has been four days since I did an update here and in that time I have gotten responses from a lot of the candidates. They appreciate what I’m doing here and say they are going to send in information. I have updated the Mayoral Candidate page as well as the Council Candidates page. A big thank you to Frank Everitt, Albert Koehler, Travis Shaw, and Brandon Lewis for their responses.

I hope to have more information from other candidates soon and I will post it as I get it. If you use twitter then follow the candidates that use it as it is a great way to get more information from then without having to ask. Please spread the word about this site so that the citizens of Prince George can go to the polls with an informed vote. I also hope that this site can help increase voter turn out by making it easier for citizens that are apathetic about politics. The information is at our finger tips we just need to reach out and grab it. #iheartpg

Another Response

Hey everybody we got our second response today from Joanne Dickenson. Thank you Joanne for participating in this project for the citizens of Prince George. I have also received e-mails from three other candidates saying that they will be submitting write ups for the site as well. I added a forum page at the top of the page showing all the forums that are being held during before election day. I have added some past articles from local newspapers as well. I will be adding some more articles very soon. Keep checking back and I hope this site help everyone before election day. #iheartPG

UNBC Fourm

So last night there was a candidates of council forum up at UNBC in the Canfor Theater. The Mayoral one on November 9th in the same location. It was not very well attended by the voters which was disappointing, but it was still a good place to hear the views and opinions of all that are running for council in the up coming election. I have posted a link to an article from the Prince George Citizen at the bottom of this post that talks about the UNBC forum as well.

Two candidates have dropped out of the election due to time constraints and conflicts with work. Tony Ferreira and Bard Grantham will be missed on the ballots and this brings the total down to 18 running for council. I have put the e-mail addresses and twitter accounts of all the candidates for mayor and council. I chatted with a lot of the council candidates last night and all seem very interested in this project. I hope that this site takes off and help the citizens of Prince George get out and make informed votes! #iheartPG

Quick Update

I have added a the lists of candidates to the Mayoral and Council pages. My goal now is to get each candidate to submit a 250 to 500 word write-up explaining why you should vote for them. If all goes well you will be able to come to one place and get all the information you need to vote instead of surfing the web for a few hours trying to find info. I will post the forum dates and times as I get them and news articles I find on-line will get posted here to with links to the original websites. When a list of place and times to vote comes out I will post that as well.

The site had 29 views in its first day and I only tweeted it once. I kept the site on the down low yesterday just so I could finish updating it. One of those 20 views came from CKPG news here in town and they have contacted me about the site. They just want to talk for now, but if that goes well then that will give the blog some validity and hopefully get the candidates to take it seriously. Fingers Crossed!

Prince George Citizen – Candidates’ first face off

The first all candidates forum was on Saturday October 15th, 2011 at the Fire Pit down town on third avenue. The topic of this forum was Homelessness in Prince George.  The Prince George Citizen did up a great article here”Candidates’ first face off“. Check it out to see how some of the candidates did. The next forum is on October 19th, 2011 at UNBC by the political science department. As soon as I have a room number and time I will update this post.

Welcome

I have been looking around for City of Prince George Election news and haven’t found a place that covers it all. I have been asked by many people if there is such a place that they can go to read about each candidate,what their platform is, and what they hope to achieve if elected. In failing to find a place I have taken it upon myself to try to put something together so that others can get informed. This site is for people looking for a comprehensive place to get all their Prince George Election Information in one shot. If you have anything you would like to add to the site please e-mail me at kcreamore@gmail.com.

This is going to be an unbiased blog and I would hope that any slagging of candidates be left off the site. There is no room for attacks on people here and rude comments will be deleted.
