The February 27th Ontario Provincial Election is fast approaching. To help inform voters JSC reached out to all five Dufferin-Caledon candidates to find out a bit more about them and to get their responses on six key issues – Hwy 413, Strong Mayor Powers, Health Care, Housing, Quarries, and Road Safety.
Three of the five candidates responded by the deadline we communicated.
Between February 14th and 17th we published the responses, by topic, from Sandy Brown (Green Party of Ontario), Michael Dehn (Ontario Liberal Party) and George Nakitsas (Ontario NDP).
Sylvia Jones (PC Party of Ontario) and Kris Eggleton (New Blue Party) did not respond.
