The Pas OCN Chamber of Commerce and University College of the North are co-hosting a public forum featuring candidates for Mayor of The Town of The Pas and Reeve of the RM of Kelsey.
This is an opportunity for residents to hear directly from the candidates, learn more about their priorities and vision for our communities, and get to know the people seeking these municipal leadership roles.
Whether you have already made up your mind or are still deciding, we encourage everyone to attend and take part in the democratic process.In Person
