Advocacy
Candidates in the Kings–Hants and Acadie–Annapolis ridings have addressed key concerns raised by Annapolis Valley Chamber members.
These responses provide local business leaders and community members with an opportunity to hear directly from federal candidates on the issues that matter most to the region.
We sincerely thank all the candidates who took the time to participate and share their perspectives with our members and the broader Annapolis Valley community.
*Joel Hirtle, Conservative Party Candidate, declined the Kings-Hants live candidate forum.
Despite various attempts, we were unable to secure the Conservative Party candidate, Chris d’Entremont’s participation in the Acadie-Annapolis region.
