Candidates Q&As

Here’s the spot for Q&As for Salmon Arm candidates for mayor, council & SD83 Trustees.

Aim High as a hub will feature 3 portals to Q&As being asked in the community: (1) Links to what other media (SA Observer, FriAM etc) and community organizations are posting (2) Qs from the public that are sent to AHSA. See below for how to submit. Note: My commitment is to ensure that these questions are fair, respectful and apply to all of the candidates. (3) A few short questions by me – mainly on governance-related matters – to all candidates in all of the 3 local races. This will start to rollout in the next few days.

Click on the Q&As link in the Category Cloud (bottom of far right column) to easily access them!

Use the Contact Tab at the top right to submit your own Qs to AHSA. Questions should be worded in a general way so that all candidates for mayor or council or school trustee can respond. Thx
