Toronto Mayor John Tory has submitted his formal letter of resignation effective Feb. 17 at 5 p.m., and will now begin a transition plan over the next two days.
Tory’s official resignation notice came on the evening of Feb. 15, following a city council meeting that passed the 2023 budget and less than a week after the mayor announced he'd be stepping down because of an “inappropriate relationship” he'd previously had with a former staffer.
