People of Durham released episode 60 on Oct. 20 featuring Niki Lundquist, Whitby's Centre Ward councillor and a candidate for Regional Councillor in Centre Ward in the Oct. 26 municipal election, the show's description says.
The episode covers downtown Whitby and the Dundas Street bus lane, growth around the Port Whitby GO station, taxes and affordability, homelessness and affordable housing, data centres, and warehouse jobs, according to the description. Lundquist also discusses her "Beyond the Soundbite" video series, her perspective on this term's council debates, and why she believes every vote matters.
Lundquist is a human rights and labour lawyer, a former Durham District School Board trustee, and the founder of Caremongers Whitby, the episode description says.
People of Durham notes that the show shares conversations with candidates to help residents get to know them, does not endorse any candidate, and that the views shared are the guest's own.
Whitby's election day is Monday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with advance voting running Oct. 22 to 25 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the episode description. Whitby does not offer online or telephone voting — electors vote in person or by mail.
