The Town of Comox is hosting a free information workshop for those considering running in the upcoming local elections or those residents curious about the work of local government.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, August 31.

It's being facilitated by Christina Benty and Caleb Moss, of Strategic Leadership Solutions.

The team focuses on work with councils, boards, and organizations to build a culture of excellence in leadership.

The Town is bringing in this team to support potential candidates or those interested in the work of local government, to learn some of the basics and make an informed decision about running for public office.

Comox Chief Administrative Officer, Jordan Wall, says the session will help expose potential candidates to some of the realities around municipal government and Council, offering those interested in running a better understanding into the decision-making processes and what it takes to sustain critical government infrastructure and services.

Topics will cover roles and responsibilities of local government and its elected officials, and what you might need to consider before putting your name forward in an election.

The workshop is free and open to drop-in, but pre-registration is appreciated. To view the details of the workshop, visit https://www.comox.ca/workshop
