If you're thinking about running in October's civic election, or even if you're just voting, you might want to head to the Flare 'N Derrick in Turner Valley Thursday, September 7.

Turner Valley's Manager of Legislative Services, Heather Thomson, says they're hosting a "Candidate Readiness and Community Engagement Workshop" with an eye on informing candidates and voters what they're getting into.

"Christina Benty (facilitator) is going to touch on that, so that not only the candidates that are thinking about running, get a real good idea about what they have to be thinking about before going in. It also gives the voting public a real good idea of what they should be looking for in a municipal leader."

The event runs from 5-to-8 p.m. on Thursday, September 7.

Tickets are available at the door or online.
