What’s important to university students in civic elections?

Prior to Monday’s municipal election, the University of Lethbridge invited the city’s candidates for mayor and councilor last week for a forum, giving students a chance to ask candidate questions and determine what they want their next city government to look like. The university’s Student Union president says the contribution of students and young people in politics is vital for the direction of this city.
