John Tory is marking his final day as the mayor of Toronto.
Tory shocked the city with an announcement a week ago that he had an "inappropriate relationship" with someone who used to work on his staff and said he'd be stepping down.
Tory's resignation takes effect at 5 p.m. today and Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie takes the reigns on an interim basis -- she says she won't be running to replace him.
