2017 is election year for the municipal government in Calgary. We know the Mayor will run again. The Councillors are now starting to declare. The surprise out of the gate is that Ward 11 Councillor Brian Pincott won't be back. Whatever your political position is, you can't deny the tireless work Councillors put in, especially Brian over his tenure.
Heres' the announcement.
