Dismissed Chestermere Officials Seek Reinstatement Amid Legal Battle

Posted underLegalMunicipal AffairsCopied!

Fired Chestermere mayor Jeff Colvin and three ousted councillors are seeking reinstatement through a court decision after the Alberta government dismissed them following a municipal inspection. They argue that the interim province-installed leadership has caused harm by making major policy changes. A previous injunction was denied, but they are now seeking a new one. If successful, they would resume their duties until a judicial review is completed. The legal battle stems from complaints received by the minister, and a forensic audit is expected to be released before a byelection. Colvin and the council members plan to run in the byelection and 2025 election if their court challenges fail.
