Happy Halloween!

And a welcome to all the visitors who saw our spot on CKCO news at 6 PM (and the re-run at 11) on October 31. A reminder, click your city on the right menu to filter the candidate responses for your area.

While parents and kids alike were preparing for trick or treating, our humble website was featured on CKCO news at 6 PM as the first story of the day. I will post a link to a copy of the video if I can manage to digitally record the 11 o’clock reshowing tonight.

I also fielded a few calls from candidates that did not receive our questionnaire. We will be happy to send the questionnaire  to candidates that have not yet been contacted. Limited volunteer resources have not yet allowed us to contact candidates by phone, we used public Internet resources (city websites, community sites, wikipedia, google) to locate e-mail addresses but did not make phone calls. We may change this as volunteer hours become available.

Lastly, Cambridge was the most difficult to find e-mail addresses for candidates, and as a result, we have received very few responses. So far, only one. If anyone can help in this area, do not hesitate to contact us.

Both Guelph newspapers mentioned gokw.org in articles on October 13 2006. The Guelph Tribune and Guelph Mercury each had an article discussing our group and how we plan to bring this up as an election issue.

Our volunteers have been actively attending municipal debates, and, aside from their own personal questions bringing up the issue of public intercity transit to acquire candidates responses.

We also plan to directly e-mail the candidates and post results to this site. Look for some updates in the very near future. Our resources are thin, but we will do what we can to get the information posted here.

If you can volunteer, we need assistance particularly with Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo. We will at least ask the mayoral candidates in all areas and post the responses by the end of next week.

Thanks
