[GREN-Exec] 100 Debates for the Environment Sept 8 -English debates scheduled

Tue Aug 24 10:57:03 EDT 2021

Hello all – Happy to support and develop questions together and work on this. We can also make an EventBrite page and banner image for the event. Our Zoom is being used for Cambridge, so another account would be needed – either Susan or rare’s.

This is the EventBrite page for Cambridge – rare will be sharing soon on their social media and we will follow: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/100-debates-on-the-environment-cambridge-tickets-167726786333?ref=estw

The attached image can easily be changed for other ridings, like Kitchener-Conestoga. Just let me know and I can make it happen.

Looking forward to working on this together!

All the best,
Tim

Mine is a paid account, not the free version.

Hi,

I will confirm today, but I do think we need the professional version of Zoom for this, not the free one – to be able to have a panel and a separate audience, which I believe requires the webinar function and also the free version meetings are limited to 45 minutes.

These are the candidates for Kitchener-Conestoga listed on the CBC website:

  *   Liberal Tim Louis (incumbent).
  *   Conservative Carlene Hawley.
  *   Green's Owen Bradley.
  *   People's Party candidate Kevin Depuis.
  *   Veterans Coalition Party of Canada candidate Matthew Correia.

I have a Zoom account, have hosted Zoom events by invitation, but haven't done anything that's open to the general public. I'm pretty sure you can get just get Zoom for a month, so maybe that would be one route to go for our groups, like GREN, for example, to host an event. If REEP could compile questions from all of us and what they have already, we would just need to get invites out to the candidates for Sept 8 for 7 to 9, we could probably follow the same format we had for live forums where they are each given 2 minutes or so to speak, then each given the opportunity to answer specific questions which we could provide beforehand, and then have someone monitoring the chat box for questions from people attending for the last 30 minutes or so. And promote through our collective networks. Need to commit to this quickly. I'm cottaging Aug 28 to Sept 4, but would hate to see us miss an opportunity to do this.

If we go this route, Tova, would you be willing to moderate again for Kitchener-Conestoga? You did such a wonderful job last time! :-)

Should be pretty straightforward to do.

Hi you all,

I'm also in the Kitchener-Conestoga riding - I'm officially going on vacation for a couple of weeks but could help organizing in my spare time. I will speak to Laura tomorrow who is organizing the Cambridge event at rare - perhaps we can piggyback on the model and copy it/ co-promote it for our riding. I'm not sure if both Reep and rare have a Zoom account with the webinar feature - I know rare does. If yes, we could probably hold parallel events on Zoom fairly easily assuming one of us can manage the tech side of it.

Take care,

Stephanie

Hi Susan,

Excellent idea.  We need to ensure that climate change and our environment is front and centre in this election.  I have not heard of anything planned yet but I am currently out of town and a bit out of the loop.

I too am in the Kitchener-Conestoga riding and can try to help however possible despite already being pretty swamped.

I like the simplicity/safety of a virtual format.  Let’s share any ideas and see what we can come up with as a community.

Cheers,

Kevin.

Hi Everyone,

Are you aware of anyone who is organizing debates in Waterloo Region through 100 Debates, as we did last time? If not, are we ready to take it on for Sept 8? They probably have to be on Zoom, which might make it easier to organize. I'm prepared to help with one for my riding of Kitchener-Conestoga. Who's up for this?
