SUMMARY:Meet the Candidates - Tasman District Council
DESCRIPTION:Questions on Climate Change and Biodiversity \nTasman District Council’s local elections (held every three years) are fast approaching. Nominations closed on August 12th and election day takes place on October 8th. \nThe Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and Tasman Environmental Trust are hosting a series of zoom sessions where we will be inviting both mayoral and council candidates to answer questions about the role they intend to play in elevating the climate conversation and advocating for climate conscious policies. The recent weather events have brought home how important it is to have representation at the local government level who understand the causes of climate change\, and its effects. \nDrawing on a set of pre prepared questions elicited from The Forum\, our moderator will challenge each of the candidates on their climate credentials and aspirations. Our hope is that these sessions will give voters a useful overview of their options while highlighting to the candidates that there is a public expectation that climate change should be at the forefront of their thinking and their actions. \nIf you are interested in climate change mitigation at the local governance level\, and want to hear from the candidates on this subject\, this event is for you. \nThe timetable of events is as follows: \nAll sessions are from 7-8.30pm \nMayoral Session: 16 Sept REGISTER HERE \nCouncil Sessions: \n15 Sept Richmond  REGISTER HERE \n17 Sept Moutere – Waimea REGISTER HERE \n19 Sept  Lakes-Murchison REGISTER HERE \n20 Sept Golden Bay REGISTER HERE \n22 Sept Motueka REGISTER HERE \nThere will be updates on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM and recordings of the sessions will be available on our YouTube channel.
