With the Alberta 2019 election now in the homestretch, we are turning our attention to the many candidate forums happening around town.

As we did in the 2017 municipal election, The Sprawl will be live-streaming these forums on Facebook and making the video available afterward. (See below.) That way you still have a chance to hear from your candidates—even if you can't make it to the forum.

But! If you can make it to a forum, you definitely should!

Community volunteers are working hard to make these events happen. Plus, it's good for you to be crammed in a room with people who see things differently than you do.

Here are the forums happening (and that have already happened) in Calgary before Election Day, April 16. Please help us make this list comprehensive! If you know of a forum that's not on this list, please let us know on Twitter, or email us at hello@sprawlcalgary.com.

We try to live-stream forums where we can. Here is where we will put our video—and links to other video streams—after forums are finished.
