The event will be held Oct. 30 at the People Place in Vernon from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Candidate Buffy Baumbrough will open the meeting, and then participants will discuss the role the federal government should play in arts and culture.

Is it likely that the candidate will explain her beliefs as to what should be done for a cultural centre in Vernon?
