On Friday, October 19, candidates contesting seats for the 2018 Squamish elections, will battle it out in a friendly tournament at The Common, a co working space, on Cleveland Avenue in Downtown Squamish.
All proceeds from the evening will go to the Howe Sound Women’s Shelter.
“We thought it was time to show the world how Canadian politicians settle their differences, and we couldn’t think of a better way than hosting an All Candidates Air Hockey Tournament,” says Peter Buchholz, owner of The Common.
The candidates will play in teams, in a series of fast paced matches. It will be streamed live, so that everyone in Squamish and the rest of the world can watch candidates battle it out on the ‘ice’.
The candidates will then be interviewed post-match in the ‘locker room’ where they will be asked some challenging questions from the public such as; Which band would you like to be in? What do you think is the greatest invention of all time?
Who was the real hero in Batman and Robin? If you are elected, who would be on your dream team – Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, Édouard Philippe, Margaret Thatcher, Donald Trump, Angela Merkel? What’s your favourite colour?

“Tune in to find out which candidates play well together, and who wins the only tournament that matters this election,” says Buchholz.
