Sarnia City Council Candidate Debate!
Here is how the event will go:
(Timing may very based on volume of candidates)
1. Audience will participate by submitting questions into a bucket.
2. Candidates will take 30 seconds-1 minute introducing themselves.
3. From one end to the other, each candidate will answer a question that the moderators pull from the bucket. They will have 1 minute to respond.
4. If there is no disagreement on the answer they give, the moderators will move on to the next candidate and select the next question.
5. If however, another candidate disagrees with the answer given, they may raise their flag and be given a chance to rebut (after the first candidate finishes their 1 minute answer). This rebuttal is a free-for-all. They are welcome to open this is as a back and forth discussion for 1 minute and 30 seconds. 2 rebuttals per candidate will be permitted.
6. Once all candidates have been asked a question, the event will be complete.
