The man behind a petition to recall the Calgary mayor was given the opportunity to meet her face-to-face.

The petition, started by Landon Johnston, has been deemed valid under the province’s Municipal Government Act, which allows eligible voters to file petitions to recall politicians at the provincial and municipal levels. However, he needs to collect over 514,000 signatures by April 4 to have the mayor recalled.
