Calandra says he recently learned Park “misrepresented” her vaccination status.
Ford has said that all members of his Progressive Conservative caucus must be vaccinated, and he removed longtime Chatham-Kent-Leamington representative Rick Nicholls for refusing to get vaccinated.
However, Calandra says Park will remain in caucus because she has provided a medical exemption.
Park, who represents Durham, is Ford’s second caucus member with a medical exemption, along with Scarborough Centre representative Christina Mitas.
