Is this the Facebook election?

This is the first election in Revelstoke that is seeing many candidates reaching out to voters using social media.

There is also a Facebook page organized by Giles Shearing to foment public political discussion. The page, called Revelstoke’s Fall Vote – The One that Counts, is at http://www.facebook.com/groups/304446056235525/314072328606231/.

You can find out more about many — but unfortunately not all — candidates at the following Facebook pages:
