StettlerLocal.com September 5, 2021 @ 6:51 pm contributed by Stettler Public Library

The Stettler Public Library and Stettler Board of Trade are pleased to be hosting Candidate’s Forums over the next few weeks for the Federal Election as well as our upcoming Municipal Elections.

We will start with the Federal Candidates’ Forum on Monday, September 13th from 7-9 pm. Due to the continued need to social distance we will offer these as closed forums. The candidates will be livestreamed on the Stettler Public Library’s Facebook page (@StettlerPublicLibrary). If you are not able to join the Livestream, the recording will be posted on the Library’s Facebook page after the livestream ends. People not able to access the recording at home are welcome to visit library over the following week to watch the recording on our public access computers. Staff will be available to help you access the recording if needed.

If you have questions you would like the candidates to address, you can submit these online at http://www.stettlerboardoftrade.com/theme/common/page.cfm?i=13187 or phone 403-742-3181. We will have someone monitoring comments during the livestream so you can also submit questions this way, although there is no guarantee that candidates will be able to address all questions during the forum.

We will livestream Municipal Candidates later this month and into October, starting with candidates for Town Council on Monday, September 27 from 7-9 pm. Candidates for County Council will be on the livestream on Wednesday, October 6 from 7-9 pm. Candidates for Clearview School Trustees will be livestreamed on Thursday, October 7 from 7-9 pm.

For the Federal Election, advance voting takes place September 10, 11, 12, 13 with a polling station at the Stettler Recreation Centre, upstairs in the Studio Room. Election day is Monday, September 20, 2021. Now more than ever it is important to exercise your right to vote.
