Get to know the candidates
This site publishes every candidate's answers to the same five questions. That is one place to look, not the only one. This page collects the others: where to watch and attend the debates, other groups' questionnaires, and official pages and independent reporting. Every link goes to someone else's site, and each is listed the way its publisher describes it.
Debates and all-candidates meetings
Every all-candidates meeting and debate announced for London's 2026 election, from any organizer, in date order. The 14 ward meetings come from the Urban League of London's list. The rest are hosted by other groups. None of them are London Decides events, and dates and rooms can change, so each row links to the organizer's own page.
Rogers TV London is broadcasting every Urban League ward meeting through October, with recordings posted afterwards on its YouTube channel. Missing your ward's night is not the same as missing the meeting.
No organizer has announced an all-candidates meeting for school board trustees on any board. If one is announced, it goes here.
Have a question you want asked at a ward meeting? The Urban League takes submissions at elections@urbanleague.ca.
Ward rows are Urban League of London meetings: free, no registration, first-come seating, recorded by Rogers TV London. Urban League of London ↗
Rogers TV London records every Urban League ward meeting and the mayoral debate and posts them on its YouTube channel. Each ward row above links to its recording once it is up. 8 recordings are up so far.
Every row is organized by a third party, not London Decides, and is listed as the organizer published it. Know of a meeting that isn’t here? corrections@londondecides.ca
Other questionnaires candidates were sent
Other organizations sent the same candidates their own questions. They are listed here because a reader comparing candidates should know every place answers exist. London Decides does not run them, vouch for them, or copy answers from them. A candidate who answered one of these has a button on their entry. It goes to that candidate's own page when the organization made one, and to the page for their race when it did not.
