Eight Regina mayoral candidates stopped by the Morning Edition to talk about their visions for the next four years. Three other candidates did not choose to participate in the video. Residents will vote for mayor, councillors and school board trustees on Nov. 13.

Regina's civic election campaign saw municipal spending and plans to replace aging civic assets, such as the Lawson Pool and the central branch of the Regina Public Library, as key issues.

There was no shortage of candidates in the Queen City, with 11 people running for mayor.

The crowded field included incumbent Mayor Sandra Masters, councillor Lori Bresciani, non-profit executive Bill Pratt and mechanical engineer Chad Bachynski, among others.

There is dramatic turnover ahead at council, as six councillors chose not to seek re-election. That means that no matter the results Wednesday, there will be at least six new councillors at Henry Baker Hall.

Fifty-three people threw their hats into the ring for the city's 10 councillor positions.
