Chamber hosting forums
Municipal election candidates to face grilling

NNSL (Sep 26/97) - The Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce is once again offering voters a chance to test candidates in the October municipal election.

The chamber will be giving candidates a chance to have their say, and voters a chance to ask their questions, during three all-candidates forums at the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre.

The 18 council candidates will take the stage in two shifts, Oct. 7 and Oct. 8.

The five mayoral candidates will be front and centre Oct. 15.

All forums begin at 7:30 p.m.

The format used will be the same as in previous elections. First candidates will be given a chance to answer a set of predetermined questions. The forum will then be opened for questions from the floor.

The evenings will end with closing comments from each candidate.
