John Tory says he will be stepping down as the mayor of Toronto after having a relationship with a staff member.
Tory made the announcement during a late press conference Friday evening.
Tory said the relationship did “not meet the standards to which I hold myself as mayor and as a family man.”
According to Tory, the relationship began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he and his long-time wife were spending “lengthy periods apart.”
Tory said he will be stepping down so he can “reflect on my mistakes” and “do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family.”
He said the relationship “ended by mutual consent” earlier this year.
Tory said the staff member decided to pursue employment outside of city hall.
Tory called the matter a “serious error in judgment.”
