A Chestermere councillor has filed a complaint with Calgary city council’s integrity commissioner after her name appeared in travel expenses filed by Coun. Joe Magliocca from a 2019 trip to a municipal conference in Quebec City.

Chestermere Coun. Yvette Kind (formerly Wagner) says she was surprised to learn her name was attached to a $331 bar tab at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac for a meeting that she never attended. Kind said she met Magliocca for the first time at the conference, but they never met for drinks.

“I did some shopping (at the Fairmont), and bought some clothes with my partner. We did not even enter any of the food areas or drink areas,” said Kind.

She said she has no idea why Magliocca put her name on the receipt and Friday morning she filed a complaint with Calgary city council’s integrity commissioner over the matter.

“I don’t appreciate my name being used as an expense reason,” she said. “My parents pay tax in the city of Calgary. So yeah, I don’t appreciate it.”
