It was a packed house in the gymnasium of the E-Centre in Swift Current last night as southwest residents gathered to hear what the candidates in the Cypress Hills-Grasslands constituency had to say.

     The All Candidates Forum was hosted by the Swift Current Chamber of Commerce.

     Chamber President Shauna Fjaagesund says they hope the events are helpful for those who may not know where their vote is going.

     The event featured an hour for the candidates to express their platforms, followed by 50 minutes of questions from the audience.  The questions spanned a range of topics from the contentious issue of the Canadian Wheat Board, to food safety, to dealing with poverty in Canada.
