Our exclusive mayoral debate marks the first time that leading candidates*—Jeff Davison, Jeromy Farkas, Jyoti Gondek, and Brian Thiessen—sat down to chat about big issues. 

*mayoral candidate Sonya Sharp was invited to join this debate, but informed us that she was unable to attend due to timing.

Tune in and hear them discuss everything from housing support, cost of living, transit and infrastructure, and how our tax dollars are spent.

This is your chance to hear where each candidate stands—directly, unfiltered, and community-focused.

Recorded live-to-tape on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. 

Election Day is Monday, October 20.
