Election is one week away - Watch our interviews with candidates
 
To help you get prepared for the Ontario General Election on  Thursday, June 7th , the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce conducted short video interviews with our local candidates representing the three major political parties, in the King-Vaughan, Thornhill, and Vaughan-Woodbridge ridings.

Each candidate was asked the same series of questions on issues relevant to our members and the Vaughan business community. Candidates were given up to 30 seconds to answer each question, but could conclude their natural thought.

We encourage you to watch all video interviews, and of course to vote on June 7th.
