Oliver VotesNothing planned for tonight?
Interested in the future of our community?
Then you should be attending the all-candidates meeting this evening at Frank Venables Theatre.

The Oliver Chronicle and South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce are co-hosting the event starting at 7 pm.

And those in attendance will get the opportunity to ask questions of candidates.

While there is no election race for mayor (incumbent Ron Hovanes was re-elected by acclamation), there are seven candidates vying for four seats on Oliver Town council and three candidates vying for two Oliver school trustee positions.

Council incumbents include Larry Schwartzenberger, Maureen Doerr, Dave Mattes and Jack Bennest. The three challengers are Petra Veintimilla, Jeff Ashe and Lilly Zekanovic.

The three school trustee candidates running are incumbent Rob Zandee, Cory-lee Mills and Rachel Allenbrand.

Also invited to the forum are regional district (Area C) candidates Terry Schafer, Joel Malcolm and Rick Knodel.
All the action begins at 7 p.m.
