Calgary school trustee candidates have been transported back to grade school, thanks to a survey by The Calgary Journal, in conjunction with Postmedia. Trustee hopefuls answer questions about dilemmas, ranging from what they’ll wear on Halloween to how they’ll deal with a teacher’s weed habit. The answers reflect a bit about candidates’ personalities and their approaches to issues affecting students, parents and teachers.
