The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario-Waterloo Region is sponsoring all-candidates meetings for candidates running in Waterloo Region District School Board elections in Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge. These events will be open to the public, and all trustee candidates are invited to the session in the city in which they are running. Rather than a formal debate, the format will allow people to engage with candidates through small-group discussions.

7 to 9 p.m., Forest Heights Community Centre
