(R) Chief Electoral Officer, Kennedy Nichol & Poll Clerk, Maddison Masterson (L) carefully monitored the ballots

Teachers at G. C. Huston Public School organized a 'mock election' to teach students the importance of voting.

"We discussed several main issues with the students," said teacher Judy Stoner.  "They included looking at subjects such as wind power, taxes, student/youth employment, hate crimes and each party's views on the issues."

While the voting was completed throughout the day (Tuesday, Oct. 4), official results cannot be revealed until after the official Provincial Election being held on Thursday, October 6th.
