All candidates forum, School Board Trustees By – Election
PRINCE GEORGE – Despite record-breaking temperatures and it being one of the nicest evenings of the year, nearly 100 people still attended an all-candidates forum at Vanier Hall Thursday night for this month’s school district 57 by-election to fill two vacant seats vacated by two trustees who resigned earlier this year.
Nine of the ten candidates attended the forum at Vanier Hall Thursday evening, where they were read a list of ten surprise questions. One Prince George District Teachers Association representative liked some of what they heard.
“ There are definitely people on that stage that have experience. One, in particular, has eight years, I believe, as a trustee, and I think going into the conditions of the school board that we have now, I do think it’s important that we have people that are able to participate effectively in a governance system. “
