LAST CANDIDATE STANDING:<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHEN: Sunday, November 2, 2014 – 2:00 – 5:00 pm<\/em>
\nWHERE: Goldcorp Centre for the Arts<\/em>, 149 W Hastings St, Vancouver, BC V6B 1H4
\nADMISSION: Free<\/em> Tickets Available from lastcandidatestanding2014.eventbrite.com<\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday, November 2nd, the\u00a0Vancouver Public Space Network presents\u00a0Last Candidate Standing<\/em> – a unique civic election event open to all candidates\u00a0running for mayor and council.\u00a0Previous editions (in 2008 and 2011) featured dozens of candidates and packed audiences.<\/p>\n

Last Candidate Standing <\/em>is an election \u2018mixer.\u2019 It allows incumbents and new nominees, independents and party-affiliated candidates to share the same stage, answer questions, and showcase their political chops. Candidates are encouraged to register their participation with the VPSN. The names of participants will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

The event is hosted by our lively MC\u00a0Mark Busse<\/a>, Industrial Brand partner & managing director,\u00a0and features the Panel of Inquisition members: Emily Jackson<\/a> of Metro News, CTV News reporter Jon Woodward<\/a> and Jackie Wong<\/a>, UBC\/Megaphone Magazine. It\u2019s eclectic, informative and entertaining. There\u2019s a house band, musical interludes from The New Shackletons<\/a> and a gong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s most certainly not<\/span> your typical election debate.<\/p>\n

The intent has always been to turn the\u00a0election debate (a limited number of candidates, a formula that varies little, well-rehearsed talking points) on its head \u2013 while having a bit of fun in the process. There\u2019s a diversity of candidates running for office \u2013 each with their own ideas about the future of the city. Last Candidate Standing<\/em>\u00a0aims to provide a forum in which as many of these ideas \u2013 and the personalities behind them – can be showcased.<\/p>\n

The 2014 edition of Last Candidate Standing<\/em> is produced by the Vancouver Public Space Network with the gracious support of SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement, and Urbanarium Society.<\/p>\n

\nThe Vancouver Public Space Network (VPSN)<\/strong>\u00a0is a grassroots collective that engages in advocacy, outreach and education on public space issues in and around Vancouver, British Columbia. The VPSN works on a wide array of projects \u2013 including research, event planning, design, and interventions \u2013 supporting key public space issues.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
