Hear them for yourself
Mayoral debates and all-candidates meetings
A debate is the one place candidates have to answer in public, on the record, in front of the people they want to represent. Here's every event we know about — and we'll add hosts, livestreams and recaps as they're confirmed.
The schedule is still coming together
With nominations only just closed, hosts are still booking rooms. As soon as debates and ward meetings are announced, they will be listed here with dates, locations and livestream links.
Hosting one? Resident associations, community groups and neighbourhood organisations are welcome to send us the details and we'll publish and promote it.
Come prepared
Bring a question that can't be dodged
The most useful debate questions are specific, local and answerable with a yes or a no. Ours are already written and sent to every certified candidate — take one with you.
