Candidates for Halton Region chair, mayor, Town council and Regional council were all on hand as hundreds packed the Black Box Theatre at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre for a lively all-candidates meeting. Bronte Village Residents Association (BVRA) along with the Association of Oakville Harbours' Stakeholders, and the Bronte Harbour Yacht Club hosted the event. People had the opportunity to submit questions to candidates ahead of the event, or pose them during a Q-and-A portion of the two-hour debate.
