Medicine Hat resident Nicole Frey has initiated a recall petition against Mayor Linnsie Clark to try to force a byelection.

“Many of us believe the entire council and mayor should be recalled or do us a favour and resign and force a byelection, but the cost and the burden of signatures is quite high for a petition,” said Frey in a Monday interview.

“We chose the mayor’s position as the recall petition’s subject because she is the only full-time council member.”
