Elections Ontario – Polling Station

Beach United Church January 6, 2025 No Comments

On Thursday, February 27th, Beach United Church (140 Wineva Ave.) will be a polling station for the provincial election from 9am-9pm.

In past elections, representatives of various faith communities in Beaches East York, including Beach United, organized all-candidates meetings where they were asked questions on matters of concern to people of faith.

In the current provincial election, the timeframe was too short to organize an all-candidates meeting. A few representatives of local faith communities developed a short list of questions for the candidates. The PDF linked here compiles answers to the questions from each of the candidates. We have also included links to their campaigns and to Beach Metro News, which provide additional information on the candidates and their party platforms.
