Forum aimed to see where candidates stand on northern, First Nation issues

Sep 20, 2019

People in Thompson got the chance to meet some of the candidates running to represent their riding for the first time on Thursday night at a forum focused on issues First Nations people will consider when heading to the polls.

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) hosted a federal candidates town hall at the University College of the North’s campus in the northern city, located about 750 km northwest of Winnipeg.

The event was part of the assembly’s “I’m First Nation and I Vote” campaign and was intended to highlight what the candidates would do, if elected, to address the concerns of First Nations people.
