The public will have an opportunity to ask municipal election candidates questions at upcoming forums hosted by the Parkland Chamber of Commerce.
The event for the City of Dauphin is September 28th at Watson Art Centre, while the RM of Dauphin Forum is October 4th at the Aspen Lodge. Doors open at 6:45 for both forums, and the event will get underway at 7 says Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota.
"Those running for council are gonna be addressed with submitted questions from the public, and then we will do a little changeover and then have a debate session for those running for mayor or reeve."
The chamber is looking for the public to submit questions ahead of the forums, as there won't be an opportunity to ask them at the event. Questions can be submitted online here, by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

Chychota says they are going to try and cover as many issues as possible during the forums.
"We want to make sure that we have questions for all different types of issues and have those brought up, so in the event that there's duplicates or something like that, the direct wording that someone delivered may not be used, but we'll hopefully try to cover as many of the topics that everyone is concerned about as possible."
Questions will be randomly assigned to candidates at the events, so the chamber encourages people to not direct questions at specific candidates.
