Rogers OMNI.1 Presents Toronto Mayoral Debate

Special Highlight Coverage of Toronto Mayoral Candidates’ Cross-cultural Debate

Rogers OMNI Television is pleased to give voice to the concerns of Toronto’s diverse voters with Toronto Mayoral Debate, a 30 minute special comprised of highlights from a debate among principal mayoral candidates and a selection of cross-cultural business professionals, held October 30th at the Velma Rogers Graham Theatre.

Toronto Mayoral Debate will air this upcoming Sunday, November 5th at 1:30 p.m. on Rogers OMNI.1, in association with:
·Toronto Chinese Business Association;
·Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce;
·Italian Chamber of Commerce;
·Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business & Professionals

All four organizations were co-presenters and participants in the October 30th event, along with Rogers OMNI Television.

Toronto Mayoral Debate will feature Mayor David Miller; Counselor Jane Pitfield and Former Liberal Party President, Stephen LeDrew responding directly to questions posed by selected representatives from all four groups as well as OMNI News journalists, Laura Albanese of OMNI News: Italian Edition; Nauman Khan of South Asian Edition; Harry Teng of Mandarin Edition and João Vicente of Portuguese Edition.

Questions asked of the candidates were crafted to reflect issues of importance, not only to the local Chinese Italian, Portuguese and South Asian communities, but also to Torontonians in general – including such hot buttons as public transportation, affordable housing and what to do with Toronto’s trash.

The result is a lively and informative discussion from the respective platforms of key mayoral candidates.
