Leader Stephen Mandel says if elected, they would continue with the Springbank off-stream reservoir project without any changes or delays.

While one MLA candidate says they cannot afford to hold more consultations.

“There have been literally thousands, if not tens of thousands of pages of studies done to show this is the right project,” said Calgary-Elbow candidate Greg Clark. “What we need to do now is move forward with purpose, make sure we’re negotiating with landowners to purchase for fair market value.”

Clark has pushed for the dam ever since the 2013 flood and while it is also supported by the NDP, there’s no mention of the project in the United Conservative Party platform — however they have put out a news release on the project.
