Tuesday April 30, 2024, Jeff Colvin, Former Mayor of Chestermere, Alberta

Jeff Colvin served as the mayor of Chestermere until he and three other city council members were dismissed from office by the Provincial Municipal Affairs Minister. The decision to remove Colvin and his colleagues has sparked controversy and legal action, as they argue that their dismissal contradicts the will of the voters who elected them in October 2021.

In a recent court hearing, Jeff Moroz, the lawyer representing Jeff Colvin, emphasized the adverse impact of their removal on the community of Chestermere. He argued that the appointment of an official administrator has led to the cancellation of contracts, policy reversals, and decisions that undermine the work of the former mayor and councillors.

During our Zoom meeting, Jeff Colvin will share insights into the legal battle and the broader implications for municipal governance and democracy. We will explore the challenges faced by elected officials in upholding the will of the voters and the importance of accountability in public office.
