Calgary made headlines in 2010 when it elected the first Muslim mayor of a major North American city.
Now, it's done it again. On Monday, former city councillor Jyoti Gandek became the first woman to win Calgary's mayoral election race, and the second racialized Calgarian to do so after Naheed Nenshi.
Her win is just one part of Alberta's historic municipal election result.
Global National's Dawna Friesen spoke to Gandek about her journey to public service, what's next for the city, as well as her relationship with the Alberta government.
