The Council of Canadians was part of a coalition of organizations who organized an all-candidates debate last night, entitled Fairness for Nova Scotians. Topics of the debate included poverty reduction and housing, health care, post-secondary education, trans and homophobia, mental health supports and incarceration, environmental racism and green jobs.
Lead organizers for the event were the NS Health Coalition and the Canadian Federation of Students - NS. The CCPA-NS was one of the partner organizations and Christine Saulnier, Director for the organization, moderated the debate.
