Class size the main topic at Local A.T.A election forum
Medicine Hat, AB — Teachers from the Prairie Rose School Divison and Medicine Hat Catholic Board of Education tried a different format when they hosted a candidates forum about education on Wednesday night.
Instead of a traditional debate, candidates from both Medicine Hat ridings were given three and a half minutes to present their ideas before a meet-and-greet with those in attendance.
Scott Raible, the political engagement officer for the Prairie Rose teachers, said that the two Alberta Teachers Association Locals wanted to create an environment that would encourage the candidates to come and be able to really share their platforms on education.
