From the article:

The City of Chestermere is taking the Alberta government to court over a recent investigation into the city’s governance, while accusing a councillor and some former staffers of conspiring against the municipality to trigger the rare probe.

Mayor Jeff Colvin and city administration have repeatedly dismissed the province-ordered municipal inspection — the first of its kind in Alberta since 2018 — as unfair, biased and false, with the mayor once referring to it as “a complete distortion of the facts.” A news release on Thursday states the city has requested a judicial review of the inspection report penned by experienced municipal adviser George Cuff and the 12 binding directives the city was handed by the province.
