Candidates for Somerset ward make their pitch to voters
From Sept. 22 to Oct. 23, CBC Ottawa will visit the 23 electoral wards in the city of Ottawa to get the inside track on the issues people are talking about on the eve of the upcoming municipal election.
Candidates running in Somerset Ward:
- Lili Weemen
- Sandro Provenzano
- Curtis Tom
- Catherine McKenney
- Denis Schryburt
- Silviu Riley
- Martin Canning
- Thomas McVeigh
- Jeff Morrison
- Edward Conway
- Conor Meade
Somerset Ward is located in central Ottawa, and contains most of Ottawa's downtown core.
The CBC Street Talk team visited the ward to hear directly from you, the voters, about issues that matter most to you: We asked: what would make your neighbourhood a better place to live?
This is a wide open race. Incumbent Diane Holmes, who has represented the area in some capacity for more than 30 years, is retiring. There are 11 candidates running to replace her.
CBC Ottawa asked all the candidates running for city council to record a 1-minute pitch and tell voters why they think they're the best candidate for their ward. The pitches below are from those who participated in this project.
