Residents of the Mackenzie Delta can choose between Frederick Blake Jr, George Nerysoo and Richard Ross Jr in the 2023 territorial election.

We’ve interviewed two of the three 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.
