TORONTO – The spooky spirit of Halloween has taken over City Hall.
Mayor John Tory, clad in a SmartTrack conductor costume, kicked off celebrations by handing out Halloween treats to preschoolers from Hester How Daycare.
“SmartTrack is something that is very important to me and thought that if I could demonstrate this confidence in this project moving ahead – through my Halloween costume – that would be a further sign that I will make this thing happen,” Tory said.
“And I can teach these kids … You can never start too early to teach these kids about the importance of SmartTrack.”
The mayor wasn’t the only person at City Hall to get into the Halloween spirit.
