It’s just under two weeks until election day in Calgary and following Wednesday evening’s mayoral debate, hosted by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, the battle lines are becoming clearer.

The five candidates chosen to participate in the debate, based on their popularity in recent polls, were Sonya Sharp, Jyoti Gondek, Jeff Davison, Brian Thiessen and Jeromy Farkas.

The debate was moderated by chamber president and CEO Deborah Yedlin and held at the Werklund Centre in downtown Calgary.

Each candidate was given two minutes to outline their vision for the city, followed by an opportunity to rebut some of the comments made by their opponents, then an opportunity to discuss more specific issues such as public safety, the importance of the arts and the future of small businesses in Calgary.
