Citizens in Airdrie may have received and intriguing pamphlet in the mail as of October 12. Pictures on social media show the official looking mailout, naming three of the incumbents and criticizing Airdrie's Main Street Square Project, while also including a link to the City's website. The City of Airdrie has confirmed the pamphlets are not official.

Sharon Pollyck, Returning Officer, said the City is looking into it.

"We're absolutely looking into it, on a number of fronts, yes."

If found to be in violation of the Local Authorities Election act, a charge could be laid and the individual convicted, leaving them ineligible to serve on council.
