As Toronto City Hall contemplates life after John Tory, several candidates have decided to throw their hat into the ring to become the city’s next mayor.
A byelection to replace Tory has been set to take place on June 26.
Tory resigned after admitting to an affair with an employee in his office. Tory said he would step down to “reflect on my mistakes” and “do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family.”
Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie has led the city since Tory’s exit on Feb. 17.
Tory had just begun his third term as mayor, having first been elected as mayor in 2014. As a result, the winner of June’s byelection will be Toronto’s first new mayor in almost a decade.
Several candidates have already declared their intention to run in what looks to be a tightly contested race.
