On Wednesday October fourth we hosted an all candidates forum, giving the public an opportunity to ask questions of the 29 candidates for Council and Mayor that attended.

While having close to 30 candidates for Council shows great interest in democracy and dedication to our City, it left little time for each candidate to present their platform and stances on specific issues.

So in order to help inform voters and create a better opportunity for candidates to share their positions, we emailed the full list of questions to each candidate. Their answers can be found below. For more reading check out our previous blog "Considerations for the 2017 Municipal Election."

Shaw TV Red Deer recorded the forum. The full video can be found here.
