Riding debates for Algoma Manitoulin Kapuskasing are this week. The first is this Wednesday evening in Elliot Lake at the Moose Family Centre. On Thursday, the candidates move on to Blind River to debate the issues from the community centre and then it’s Espanola on Friday for a debate at the Legion. All three candidates will be at the debates in Elliot Lake and Blind River. But Tory candidate Andre Robichaud says he’s opting out of the debate in Espanola and later on a debate in Little Current so he can do more door-to-door campaigning in different parts of the riding. All the debates have 7:00pm starts.
