On August 10, the Alberta Teachers' Association hosted a PC Leadership Candidate Education Forum at their annual Summer Conference. All six candidates were in attendance. Check out this video to learn more about where each candidate stands on education issues.

Progressive Conservative Leadership Candidates Speak Out on Education Funding Shortfalls

In a recent Calgary Herald Article, "Tory leadership candidates slam Stelmach government," PC leadership contenders spoke out about education funding shortfalls. Five of the six candidates are quoted as saying that the current level of government funding is not adequate and are calling for increased investment in education.

CAPSC has sent questionnaires to all the PC leadership candidates and to date we have received three responses from Doug Griffiths, Gary Mar and Alison Redford.

Save Our Fine Arts (SOFA) also has questionnaire and candidate responses posted on their website.
