Saskatoon libraries host election forums for each city council ward

Article content

The 2024 Saskatoon municipal election is Nov. 13.

Leading up to the election, the Saskatoon Public Library has partnered with the Social Action Council of Saskatoon Unitarians to present a series of civic election forums this month.

Unlike debates, the forums give residents an opportunity to meet and hear from the city council candidates in each of the 10 wards, as the candidates share their views.
