Posted On: Sunday, September 12, 2021

September 12, 2021: Simcoe-Grey federal candidates articulated their positions on a range of environmental issues in a virtual debate on Wednesday, September 8. Bren Munro from the Liberal Party, Lucas Gillies from the NCP and Nick Clayton from the Green Party answered questions ranging from climate change and toxins to inequities and indigenous reconciliation. Conservative candidate Terry Dowdall declined the invitation to participate stating that his calendar did not allow him to do so.
