The general public is invited to attend an All Party Forum on Environment
and Health moderated by CTV's Rick Grant on Thursday, June 8 from 7-9 pm at
the Ondaatje Theatre in the FASS/McCain Building at Dalhousie University,
6135 University Ave. in Halifax. Participating candidates will address and
debate critical environmental and health issues and tell Nova Scotians what
their party will do if elected. Audience members will also be able to ask
the candidates questions. Confirmed participating candidates currently
include: Michele Raymond (New Democratic Party), Francis MacKenzie (Liberal
