The 2015 Federal Election is upon us. Do you want to know where the city’s Federal election candidates stand on arts and culture issues? Then Artsvote Peterborough is the debate for you! An all-candidates debate with a focus on questions that matter to the city’s outstanding arts, culture, and heritage community – come out, inform yourself and have your voice heard.

Confirmed participants include:

Toban Leckie – Strength and Democracy
Doug Mason – Green Party
Maryam Monsef – Liberal Party
Dave Nickle – NDP
Michael Skinner – Conservative Party

Artsvote Peterborough will be moderated by Jack Roe.

Candidates have been asked to make an opening statement on their party’s approach to arts, culture, and heritage and to answer a series of questions that are of interest to those who care about the development of the local ACH sector. Members of the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to candidates.

Capacity is limited to approximately 100 seats, so please arrive early to ensure your spot. The Nexicom Lounge at Showplace Performance Centre is an accessible space.

Artsvote Peterborough is a partnership project between Artspace, the Electric City Culture Council (EC3), and Showplace Peterborough.
