Yesterday Calgary went to the polls to choose a new mayor and fill the council seats for the next term.
I drew the assignment of covering Nenshi’s headquarters for the night.
As the voting results began trickling in and were read out, the mood in the modest downtown office basement quickly became jubilant, reaching a boiling point upon the victor’s arrival.
