Lethbridge East candidates answer questions about seniors’ issues
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Nord-Bridge Seniors Centre held a candidates forum on Monday, April 24, 2023.
The event had the two Lethbridge East candidates, the UCP’s Nathan Neudorf and the NDP’s Rob Miyashiro, answering questions about seniors’ issues that will be addressed by their governments if elected.
Among the question topics was affordability and home care for seniors. Both candidates affirmed their party’s commitments to providing affordable senior care. They said they will do so by capping utility rate increases.
Miyashiro said, “The provincial government has the ability to do that, that’s how simple that is. The rate caps that are in place right now by the UCP government will go up June 1st, so it’s not much of a cap long term when you look at it that way.”
