Sturgeon County supports consistency in its communication with all candidates.

If any candidate submits a request for information about County programs or services, a reply will be provided via email to all candidates. Requests for information may be made in writing to election@sturgeoncounty.ca.

Sturgeon County will make every reasonable effort to provide a response to candidates.However, as the election draws near, time may not permit a response. Questions that are complex in nature or must be treated in accordance with privacy legislation may be clarified by Administration and it may be recommended that the candidate submit a request in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
