TORONTO—John Tory, who served two scandal−free terms as mayor of Toronto and had just been re−elected for a third, announced Friday he was resigning from the job due to an “inappropriate relationship” he had with a former member of his staff.

The announcement came at a hastily called news conference, during which Tory offered few details about the affair.
