BREAKING: John Tory formally resigns as mayor of Toronto
Tory submitted his resignation letter to the city clerk on Wednesday evening, informing John D. Elvidge that he will resign effective at 5 p.m. on Feb. 17.
"This has been the job of a lifetime, and while I have let many people, including myself, down in this instance, I have nonetheless been deeply honoured by the opportunity to serve the people of this wonderful city for more than eight years and I hope I achieved some good for the city I truly love." The clerk will then set a deadline for when candidates can file their nomination papers. According to the Municipal Elections Act, election day would occur 45 days after the nomination deadline.
It was five days ago when Tory announced his intention to step down as mayor during a last-minute news conference where he disclosed his affair with a staff member from his office during the pandemic.
