Candidate Curious Workshop

Candidate curious

Thinking about running for a seat on Wolfville Town Council?

Town staff are offering engagement sessions to welcome folks who might be “candidate curious” as we get closer to the nomination period of our election schedule.

Candidate Curious is a session to welcome folks, manage expectations, and create a safer space where everyone feels welcome to explore the idea of serving their community. 

Join us for this 90-minute event that includes a presentation with lots of opportunity for questions.
