Get set to dial up democracy! Vancouver’s most anticipated election debate is returning this October.
Last Candidate Standing is the only debate open to ALL mayoral and council candidates. The event takes the typical debate format on its head, introducing Vancouverites to the full range of candidates, and allowing candidates a chance to take the stage and respond to questions on key local issues. Last Candidate provides a forum for a discussion of key election issues in an event that is also infused with music, theatre and a bit of light-hearted fun.
Last Candidate Standing 2018 will take place
Wednesday, October 3
Evening – start time TBD

This will be the fourth election that the Vancouver Public Space Network has held this local democracy event, and the previous three editions in 2008, 2011 and 2014 were a fantastic success! Each had a full house, a lively debate, and full-house audiences with several hundred people in attendance.
