Langley residents will be able to ask questions of candidates at four all-candidates meetings taking place in April.

The writ has dropped and the race is on to form the next government of British Columbia.

In Langley, there are four all-candidate public meetings coming up in April to help voters decide which name to mark on their ballot on May 9.

The first all-candidates meeting will be hosted by the Langley Seniors Community Action Table on Wednesday, April 19 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, 20676 Fraser Hwy. The focus will be on senior issues.

That evening (April 19), the Langley Teachers’ Association is inviting the public to participate in its all-candidates meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Langley Seniors’ Resource Centre, 20605 51B Ave.

This nonpartisan forum will be focused on educational, environmental, and other equity issues, and is being offered in partnership with the Langley District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), Kwantlen Nation, Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC, Kwantlen Student Association, PIPE-UP, and CUPE 1260.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board are hosting two all-candidate meetings.

The first one will be for candidates in the Langley riding. That public forum will be held Tuesday, April 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus in the auditorium. Free parking will be provided in the west parking lot off Glover Road.

The second all-candidates meeting will be for the Langley East riding on Thursday, April 27 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the west gymnasium at the Langley Events Centre.
