The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce will host an All Candidates’ Forum Thursday Oct. 15 for the Yorkton constituency candidates in the upcoming provincial election.
The Forum will be held at the Gallagher Centre beginning at 7:30 PM. The Chamber is pleased that both Carter Antoine representing the NDP; and Greg Ottenbreit, representing the Sask Party; will be in attendance.
Marty Sveinbjornson, Chair of the Policy committee described the format of the Forum. “Prior to the Forum, the Chamber will send 6 questions to each of the candidates relating to the Yorkton business community”, he said. “The candidates will each be given an opportunity to respond to those questions.”
The Chamber invites the public to submit questions as well. “The public can submit questions to the Chamber by emailing them to [email protected]or sending them on facebook live”, said Sveinbjornson. He added that the questions will be selected randomly by the Moderator.
Due to the restrictions placed on gatherings by the Sask Health Authority, the Forum will not be open to the public. However, there are a number of ways the public can view or hear the Forum. The event will be broadcast live by The Rock 98.5 FM and Access Communications on channels 7 and 507; and on facebook live.
The Chamber thanks the public for their patience and understanding. The Chamber encourages everyone to tune in to the Forum to learn more about the candidates and how their respective parties stand on the issues and opportunities facing the people of Yorkton.
