Two candidates vying for Tory nomination in Souris-Moose Mountain

Voting for a Conservative candidate will take place on Aug. 9 and 10, in Moosomin, Estevan and Weyburn.

WEYBURN - Steven Bonk and Mike Strachan are vying for the right to represent the Conservatives Party of Canada in Souris-Moose Mountain in the next federal election, expected to occur in 2025.

Voting will take place on Aug. 9 and 10, in three locations in the constituency: Moosomin on Aug. 9, Estevan in the morning of Aug. 10, and finally Weyburn later that day, with the final vote count to be announced on the evening of Aug. 10.

Bonk is currently the MLA for the Moosomin constituency, while Strachan is the mayor of Torquay. 

Current MP Robert Kitchen announced in early July he would not run again in the next federal election. He has been the Souris-Moose Mountain MP since 2015. 

The format for each of the three meetings will be the same, starting with speeches from the two candidates, then a period of voting, which has to be done in person.

In Moosomin at the Legion, the speeches will start at 4:30 p.m., with voting from 5-7 p.m. In Estevan, the meeting will be at the Wylie-Mitchell building, with speeches at 9:30 a.m. and voting from 10 a.m.-noon. Then the scene shifts to Weyburn at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall. Speeches will be at 3:30 p.m., and voting is from 4 to 6 p.m., with the final results from all of the voting to be announced after that time.
