Gondek leading mayoral race, with 33% of Calgarians still undecided: CBC News poll
CBC
Editor's note: This CBC survey was conducted Sept. 22 to 30, 2021 by Alberta-based Trend Research under the direction of Janet Brown Opinion Research. The survey sampled 1,000 residents of the City of Calgary. As always, it should be remembered that a poll is a snapshot in time.
A new poll conducted exclusively for CBC Calgary shows Jyoti Gondek leading a crowded field in the race to become Calgary's next mayor.
Gondek has 40 per cent support among decided and leaning voters. Jeromy Farkas is a close second with 32 per cent support. And Jeff Davison is third with 11 per cent support.
Among the other candidates running, Jan Damery and Brad Field each garner four per cent support, and the rest of the candidates each have the support of two per cent or less.
Thirty-three per cent of Calgary voters remain undecided.
Still, the numbers among decided voters are not the whole story. Name recognition is also a factor in the race.
With just over one week left before election day, the poll suggests name recognition is key in the mayoral campaign race.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
