3 Mississauga mayoral candidates square off in CBC debate

Three of Mississauga’s top mayoral candidates will take the stage for what could be a pivotal debate ahead of that city’s byelection.

Mississauga is set to hold a second round of advance voting on June 1 and 2, while election day is June 10. You can learn more about how to vote here.

The candidates in the debate are: Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko and Alvin Tedjo. Carolyn Parrish has so far declined to participate in debates.

CBC Toronto’s David Common will moderate the event. 

There are 20 candidates running in this byelection, which was triggered by former mayor Bonnie Crombie resigning to become leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. You can find a full list of candidates on the City of Mississauga’s website. 

Here’s how to watch the event, which runs from 6:30-7:30 p.m. ET.
