A virtual all-candidates forum has been announced for a byelection to fill one empty school trustee seat in School District 10.
The forum will take place on Monday, Aug. 31, at 6:45 p.m. and will feature all four candidates and school board of education members.
Candidates who’ve put their name forward include Steve Gascon, Carlee Hughes, Aidan McLaren-Caux and Judy Struck. All of them are Nakusp residents.
SD 10 has said the link to the forum will be shared online on the district’s website and on the schools’ Facebook pages in the district.
While all candidates and board members will attend the forum in-person, Arrow Lakes residents can only attend it virtually. No location has been determined yet for the forum.
