That is an article that talks about the candidate. The key quote is this one:

“He has a head shaving for cancer event that day,” she said, adding Copithorne will attend a forum in Banff as well as a Meet and Greet in Bragg Creek and Morley during the remainder of the campaign."

The Banff debate is after the rural paper deadlines, it is the debate on the 19th. The Canmore debate is on the 17th. I can understand one scheduling conflict, having worked for politicians before, but 3 scheduling conflicts to miss 3 debates seems like it is something that is orchestrated. Especially considering that I am pretty sure Smith was in Cochrane during the day and was off to another riding by the evening.
I asked Tom about his forum schedule.... this was his response.

Canmore on Tuesday. Banff on Thursday. Thanks for your support. TC
