Calgary's first female mayor has been officially sworn in amid a controversy over an incoming councillor who has refused to resign. Jyoti Gondek was sworn in by Court of Queen's Bench Associate Chief Justice John Rooke. He also had to swear in councillor Sean Chu because the new mayor refused to perform the duty as she had for other members of council.
Gondek is among those who called for Chu to resign after allegations of sexual assault involving a 16-year-old girl resurfaced from when he served as a Calgary police officer 24 years ago.
