Editor's Note - With last night's All Candidates Forum (WL City Councillor) done for this election - I wish all voters' the best of luck in selecting six from the 14 candidates for WL Council.  I heard some grumbling that voters' didn't observe enough to influence the voters' choices... the City of WL/CRD should give consideration to waiving the rental fees for the Gibraltar Room where there is more space as well - the format should be reverted back to the 2005 election consisting of:

a) Opening Statements
b) Question Period w/rebuttals permitted by candidates and even a challenge period between candidates
c) Closing Statements

Also - On the Rush this morning (Tues Nov 15th) that it was stated that the Cariboo Regional District was holding their 2nd Advance Vote today for Electoral Areas 'E', 'H', 'J' and 'L'.  This is false.  It was held yesterday (Mon. Nov 14th)

Tomorrow - in the last of advance voting - the City of Williams Lake will hold its' 2nd Advance Vote at WL City Hall [450 Mart Street] from 8am - 8pm as well as the School District #27 will hold its' 2nd Advance Vote for Zone 5 (for those who live outside the City of Williams Lake boundary.  If you live inside the City and Zone 5 - you can vote early at WL City Hall)
