Election Candidates to Attend Indigenous Issues Debate

Federal election candidates in Kootenay-Columbia will be at the Ktunaxa Nation on Monday for an Indigenous Issues Debate ahead of several election debates and forums in the coming days.

The four major parties were invited to Monday’s Indigenous Issues Debate, put on by both Rosemary Phillps and Joyce Green at the Ktunaxa Nation Council Gymnasium in Cranbrook from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Wayne Stetski of the NDP, Rob Morrison of the Conservatives, Robin Goldsbury of the Liberals, and Abra Brynne for the Green Party, are all anticipated to be in attendance for the event, following their invitations.

The debate will specifically focus on Indigenous issues, and those of specific interest to the Ktunaxa people, as the public will get an opportunity to ask questions of the candidates or provide comments.
