A candidates' forum will be held in St. Laurent on Saturday. Reeve Cheryl Smith says the municipality took the opportunity to get all three MLA candidates in their riding to join them in a forum, noting the idea was to get as many folks as possible to come out and listen to what the different candidates have to offer. Smith says she hopes the candidates will talk about what their priorities will be if they are elected and how those priorities will benefit the ratepayers in their area. She notes the NDP and Liberal candidates have confirmed they will attend, and she hopes the PC candidate will be able to get there as well.

Smith adds municipal officials felt St. Laurent was in a good place to host such an event because they have a lot of projects on the go. She says they're inviting everybody and anybody who might be interested in a variety of issues to come and hear the candidates. The forum will take place Saturday at 2 pm. at the Rec Centre in St. Laurent.
