Last night’s mayoral forum at the North Centennial Community Centre focused on social and environmental issues. The standing-room only crowd listened attentively to Brian Bowman, Michel Fillion, Robert-Falcon Ouellete, David Sanders and Judy Wasylycia-Leis. Gord Steeves and Paula Havixbeck were not present.
The discussion, which was moderated by CBC News reporter Sean Kavanagh, had the most innovative format to date for getting clear answers from the participants.
