BREAKING: Toronto Mayor John Tory is stepping down as the city’s mayor after having a relationship with a staff member.
Tory called the matter a “serious error in judgment.”
He said he will work with the city manager, city clerk and deputy mayor Jennifer McKelvie to “ensure an orderly transition in the coming days.” “While I deeply regret having to step away from a job that I love, in a city that I love even more, I believe in my heart, it is best to fully commit myself to the work that is required to repair these most important relationships, as well,” he said.
Tory said he is “deeply sorry” and apologized “unreservedly” to the people of Toronto, his staff members and his colleagues at city hall. “Most of all, I apologize to my wife, Barb and to my family who I’ve let down more than anyone else,” he continued.Tory was first elected as Toronto’s mayor in 2014. He was re-elected in 2018 and again in 2022.
