TORONTO – A normally strait-laced Toronto Mayor John Tory beat the heat on Friday by taking a dip in a public outdoor swimming pool – in his clothes.
After giving a speech about the facilities, Tory doffed only his shoes as he did a cannon ball into the pool, much to the delight of youngsters.
Wearing dress pants and his white dress shirt, the mayor also went down a water slide of the west-end venue.
