Cowley Hall was packed on the evening of April 11 with people who came to both hear and question candidates and party representatives regarding the upcoming Provincial election.
The event was sponsored by the Livingstone Landowners Group, the Crowsnest Conservation Society, and the Alberta Wilderness Association, and was moderated by John Lawson.
Candidates for the Livingstone Macleod Riding included Evan Berger, Progressive Conservative Party; Pat Stier, Wildrose Party, Larry Ashmore, EverGreen Party; and Matthew Halton, New Democrat Party. David Swann spoke on behalf of the Liberal Party,.

Another forum will be held with at least three of the participating candidates for the Livingstone-Macleod riding at the Heritage Inn, Pincher Creek on Wednesday, April 18, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. That event will be hosted by the Pincher Creek & District Chamber of Commerce and the Southwest Alberta Sustainable Community Initiative (SASCI).
Just a reminder that there is also a "Senate in Waiting" ballot in this election. There are 13 candidates vying for 3 positions; 3 P.C. candidates, 3 WildRose candidates, 1 EverGreen candidate and 6 independents. If we must have a Senate that is not ELECTED, EQUAL AND EFFECTIVE across the country, I believe that the Alberta ELECTED Senators in Waiting should be independent of party allegiance. My personal choice is a friend from my youth, Len Bracko who has spent his entire life serving people. Len was a school teacher for 30 years. Len has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity projects in Nepal, Tanzania and Nicaragua. He has served as a city councilor in St. Albert for 18 years and volunteered his time on both provincial and federal boards and committees. (AUMA and FCM)
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in the Senate as it exists, but if we must have a Senate, Len is the kind of person I believe would serve Alberta's and Canada's best interests.
I agree with Roger 110%. Len is the man for the job. Having sat with him at AUMA. I cannot say enough nice things about the man. Honest and true.The definition of a gentleman in my mind is Len Braco. That's where my vote is going!
