We spoke with two of the candidates for Chief in the Qalipu First Nation election

CBC Newfoundland Morning

There are still a couple days left to vote in the ongoing Qalipu First Nation election. Ballots are ready to be marked for many positions, including that of Chief of the Mi'kmaw band. The CBC reached out to all three candidates for that job and heard back from two. Colleen Connors spoke with current Chief Jenny Brake, who took over the title when Brendan Mitchell moved to a different role about a year ago. She also chatted with candidate Laura White. The third candidate, Byron Alexander, did not respond to multiple requests for an interview.
