PARK CITY, Utah — Park City residents have an opportunity to learn about City Council candidate perspectives on local climate issues via a candidate forum to be held on Nov 1.

All six candidates are expected to participate.

The candidate panel will be facilitated by Park City High School Green Team members and the Environmental Studies class. Candidates will respond to topics addressing Park City’s water supply, wildfire management plan, waste management practices, land management, reducing vehicle emissions, planning for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and land management.

A Q&A period will also address questions from the audience. The forum will not be live streamed.
