Mayoral candidates tackle the issues – Part Five: The Opioid Crisis
KAMLOOPS — Where do the candidates for mayor of Kamloops stand on the biggest issues facing our city?
CFJC Today asked the six candidates about five different issues, and will give you their answers this week. (Todd McLeod failed to respond by deadline.) Here’s the fifth and final question we posed:
