Calgary police say they are investigating after a recall Mayor Jyoti Gondek campaign sign was defaced.
A video circulating on X shows two elderly women spray painting over a “Recall Gondek” sign and writing “Respect Gondek” over it.
Police say officers were called to Parkdale Boulevard NW and 30 Street NW around 10:20 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19, for reports of property damage to a billboard on a grassy median.
The Calgary Police Service says the investigation into the incident is ongoing, and anyone with information on the matter is encouraged to call police.
X users believe one of the women is Carolyn Pogue, who posted selfies with a paintbrush next to the defaced signs on Facebook.
“Respect is such a beautiful word. Hope we can try some for our elected mayor,” Pogue wrote in a post accompanying the photos.
