Dawson Creek residents can hear directly from school trustee candidates at a question period on Monday, September 28, 2026, at the Ovintiv Events Centre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the forum starts at 7:00 p.m.
The School Trustee Candidate Question Period is organized by the Peace River South District Parent Advisory Council, which represents parents across School District No. 59. The event gives voters a chance to hear from the three candidates running for two school board seats in the City of Dawson Creek before the October 17, 2026 election. Advance voting takes place on October 7 and October 14.
The candidates are incumbents Angelina Schurmann and Christina Wards, along with challenger Deanna Sudnik. Community members can still submit questions through a SurveyMonkey form, and organizers will select questions from those submissions for the forum.
The school trustee race is part of the general local election on October 17, when Dawson Creek voters will also choose a new mayor and city councillors. In 2022, both incumbents won their seats in a contested race, defeating two challengers for the Area III positions.
