What is a municipal election?

A mayoral Jeopardy event took place at Contemporary Calgary on Monday night.

Jyoti Gondek, Jeromy Farkas and Sonya Sharp test their knowledge about the city of Calgary. 

Organized by LiveWire Calgary, the event departed from the usual debates, offering a fun trivia night where mayoral candidates went head-to-head in a friendly trivia competition. 

LiveWire Calgary invited the top five candidates in this municipal election, but only three agreed to participate in the show.
