The Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce held an election forum last night at the Dauphin Multi-Purpose Senior Centre.

The night gave Dauphin MLA candidates the chance to address the issues and concerns of their constituents.

PC candidate Brad Michaleski, NDP candidate Darcy Scheller and Liberal candidate Cathy Scofield- Singh answered a barrage of questions from the public in attendance and from each other.

While the candidates had their obvious differences in opinions, there were some topics on which their opinions were the same.

They took similar stances on the exploration of the medical benefits of cannabis, the need for accessibility for seniors and people living with disabilities, and the need for support systems for those living in poverty.

Executive Director of the Chamber, Stephen Chychota, was impressed with the turnout and quality of questions submitted by the public.

For those people who missed last night's forum, a full video of the forum can be found on the Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce's Facebook page.

The Manitoba provincial election is set for September 10th.
