Statement on Mayor Tory's Resignation

Mayor Tory's resignation means that now more than ever, all of our councillors need to work together to give our city and our people the strong, effective City Council they can depend on, and deserve.

At City Hall, a lot can happen in just a day – and last night was no different.

I want to thank Mayor Tory for his commitment to public service, for providing much-needed stability throughout the pandemic, and for entrusting me with key responsibilities at Council.

Mayor Tory's resignation means that now more than ever, all of our councillors need to work together to give our city and our people the strong, effective City Council they can depend on, and deserve.

As your councillor for Toronto Centre, that's what I'm going to do.

The mayor has always been one part of Toronto City Council, so this doesn’t change any of the work ahead of us. We have to deal with serious challenges in housing, public health and mental health, the cost of living crisis, the TTC, a state of repair for our infrastructure, and community safety.

That's why I'm here, and that's what I'm focused on improving — for the people of Toronto Centre, and for all Torontonians.

 

Yours in service,


Chris Moise
City Councillor
Ward 13 - Toronto Centre
