The public will have an opportunity to hear the views of Salmon Arm council candidates on Oct. 4.

The Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce has announced it will host an all-candidates forum at the Salmar Classic Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 6 p.m.

In a media release, the Chamber said it wishes to provide local businesses and residents with a voice during the municipal election, as well as providing the public with information to assist in making knowledgeable decisions about the candidates.
