Smithers held their all candidates forum last night at the Della Herman theatre.
2 mayoral candidates and 8 council candidates were in attendance to answer questions on topics like housing, taxes, infrastructure, and local business.
Both Mayor Gladys Atrill and opponent Murray Hawse say they are in support of creating more addiction support services and expanding affordable housing opportunities such as an emergency shelter.
With little debate on most topics, all candidates discussed their support of local businesses, and increasing discussion with the provincial government about healthcare needs and funding for infrastructure improvement.
Residents also had time to mingle with the candidates over coffee both before and after the forum.
