Westside-Kelowna forum set
It seems I was mistaken that the location for the debate had yet to be announced:

A forum has been set for Westside-Kelowna provincial candidates.
The debate will take place Wednesday, April 29 from 7-10 p.m. at the Westbank Lions Community Hall. The CBC and Kelowna Capital News are sponsoring the event.
Westside-Kelowna is one of the re-jigged ridings in the election. It includes West Kelowna, as well as downtown Kelowna to Glenmore Road.
Running in the riding are at least four candidates, rookie candidates include Peter Neville, running for the Conservatives, Robin McKim for the BC Green Party and Vinter Ben Stewart for the Liberals.
Veteran candidate Tish Lakes is representing the NDP.
Rick Thorpe, Liberal MLA and former cabinet minister, currently represents the Okanagan-Westside riding and chose not to run again.
Meanwhile Wednesday, BC Liberals announced their platform, making it the last of the political parties to do so.

huh? I'm on a little island and the rest of my riding is in West Kelowna? That seems kind of weird. Who draws these maps?

I think it's called gerrymandering.... Tom DeLay would be so proud.

Who said the Westside does not have a vibrant downtown?
