Residents of the Dehcho district can choose between Ron Bonnetrouge, Richard C Lafferty, Steven Vandell or Sheryl Yakeleya in the 2023 territorial election.
We’ve interviewed three of the four candidates, giving each person 15 minutes to discuss their platform, the priorities they’d like to focus on if elected, and the qualities that they believe help to mark them out as a candidate.
If he’s elected the new Dehcho MLA, Steven Vandell says his hands-on experience will help foster an environment where jobs are created for youth. Read Steven’s interview
Richard C Lafferty wants to promote industries he says are overlooked, like natural gas and logging, while enhancing on-the-land education. Read Richard’s interview
