Greater St. Albert Catholic School District posted the official list of candidates for the Sept. 19 By-Election. The candidates are Joe Becigneul, Brigitte Cecelia, Alyssa Frew, Moire Hogg, Greg Schell,
and Kenton Zerbin.

“We are blessed to see a great deal of interest from the broader community in running for trustee and that voters will be able to elect a voice for Catholic education in St. Albert and across the District,” said commented Deb Schlag, the District’s secretary-treasurer in a release Wednesday. “With six candidates running in the By-Election, we hope it encourages Catholic residents to get out and vote,”
