An election forum took place at the Gilbert Plains Collegiate last night.
All three candidates for Reeve showed up, and ten out of twelve council candidates attended. The most talked about topics were water, better drainage, taxes, and garbage disposal. The candidates want to find better ways to get water to the people in Gilbert Plains while having good places to drain the water.
All candidates seemed to want to work out a way to level out taxes to make them fair for everyone. Garbage disposal was an important point; they all agreed that the garbage dump is necessary but pricey. They'd like to figure out a way to make it viable.
The election takes place on October 24th. Advance voting for Gilbert Plains will be tomorrow from 8am to 8pm at the municipal office on Main street.
