SD73 DPAC to host all-candidates forum for trustee hopefuls 

KAMLOOPS — The SD73 District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) will be hosting an all-candidates forum for trustees ahead of the October 17 election. 

The event will take place on October 6, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Henry Grube Centre. 

“This forum is about creating an opportunity for parents, families, and members of our community to hear directly from the people seeking to represent them on our Board of Education,” said Manu Sharma, DPAC Member at Large and Forum Event Coordinator. “School trustees make important decisions that affect our children, our schools, and the future of public education in our community. We hope this forum helps families become informed, ask questions, and engage in the democratic process before they vote.”

In total 16 candidates have filed their nomination packages to appear on the ballot for trustee, with Kamloops voters given the opportunity to elect five to the school board for the next four year term.
