Red Deer Public Library (located in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada) is proud to present Election Forum 2010, a place where the community can interact with Red Deer's candidates for Mayor, City Council, and School Trustees for both the Public and Catholic Boards.

There are two main areas on the site for candidates and community members to interact. First, beginning in July, we will launch discussion forums based on questions from various community organizations and Red Deer citizens and from media coverage of election issues. We encourage everyone -- candidates, voters, and community groups -- to participate in these forums regularly. Second, each candidate will have their own space on this site where they can present their campiagn platform and provide links to their campaign materials. Members of the community (you!) can get to know the candidates and post questions or comments for them to respond to.

Please take a moment to look around and familiarize yourself with the website. You can find the discussion forums, candidates' individual pages, and more information about the site, including information on how to use the website, the general guidelines and terms of use, and the archived versions of electionforum.ca, by using the drop-down menu located at the top right hand side of the page.

For other information, such as news, important dates, links, and contact information for assistance with the website, use the navigation bar on the left hand side of the page.

Be sure to check back regularly for new content and discussions. The goal of electionforum.ca is to bring the community together to discuss the issues that face our city, and to help voters make informed decisions in this year's election.

If you have any questions regarding electionforum.ca, don't hesitate to contact me.

You have a voice -- here is your chance to be heard!
