It's the end of an era at CTV.

But will it be a new beginning for the City of Calgary?

After over two decades with CTV, news anchor Barb Higgins has stepped down.

This has lead to speculation that she may make a run for Mayor of Calgary in the fall election.

When Barb left the station Thursday she said that now was not the time or place to talk about her future plans, but that they would be announced soon.

We have learned that a local communications company in Calgary has purchased the domains barb4mayor.ca and barbhiggins.ca.

CTV Calgary will have more information as this story develops.
