Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/09/2023 (1097 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tonight is the first of two nights of debates featuring local provincial election candidates.
Candidates from Brandon East and Brandon West will take the stage at Brandon University’s Lorne Watson Recital Hall for an event held by the Brandon Sun, the university, Westman Communications Group, the Brandon Teachers’ Association and CUPE Local 737.
The Brandon East debate will start at 6 p.m. with the Brandon West debate at 7:30. Each debate will last 75 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
Our panel of questioners for both of these debates will consist of Brandon Sun political reporter Colin Slark; Brandon University associate political science professor Kelly Saunders; Brandon Teachers’ Association president Tammy Tutkaluk; and Assiniboine Community College media instructor Murray Oliver.
This evening’s debates will be officiated by longtime emcee Kerry Auriat.
The third debate for Spruce Woods candidates will take place on Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m.
Our panel of questioners for the Spruce Woods debate will include Slark, Saunders and Tutkaluk.
Oliver has agreed to act as the evening’s host.
For anyone who can’t make it in person, all three debates — which are free and open to the public — will be livestreamed on the WCGtv website from our location at Brandon University, and also be rebroadcast at later dates before election day. The Brandon Sun will provide news coverage and commentary.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be an interesting and informative series of debates.
