Toronto Mayor John Tory resigns after admitting to relationship with city staffer | FULL

Toronto Mayor John Tory announced he would resign after admitting to having had a relationship with a city staffer.

He said he would take the time to "reflect on my mistakes and to do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family." Tory added he would work with city officials to ensure an orderly transition.

Tory said he developed a relationship with a staff member during the COVID-19 pandemic and it “ended by mutual consent” earlier this year. The mayor also said the staff member decided to pursue employment outside of city hall.

The resignation comes just months after Tory was re-elected in the 2022 municipal election. He was first elected mayor in 2014.
