Candidates vying for council in the Sault and surrounding Algoma municipalities have been responding to a series of questions laid out by a coalition of environmental and conservation groups from across the district
For the last several weeks, candidates running for mayor and council in the Sault and across its 12 surrounding municipalities in Algoma have been providing their positions on key environmental issues through an online survey ahead of the municipal election on Oct. 24.
Paul Hazlett, a volunteer with the Sault Climate Hub, says the intention of the survey was to allow the public to see where their candidates stand on several hardline environmental issues unique to their area. In the Sault, Matthew Shoemaker is the only mayoral candidate yet to take part in the survey, while just 9 of the 21 candidates running for council responded. Answers can still be submitted until Oct. 14.“We were really pleased,” he says. “They took it seriously; some gave some really intense thought and comprehensive answers to all the questions. In terms of those that responded, it was really good.
