Mayor John Tory has announced his intention to resign from office after admitting to having a relationship with a staff member.
Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie will now take over the job until a byelection can be held.
She is likely to remain in the job for a period of months, as the City of Toronto Act requires that candidates be given a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 60 days to file their nomination papers after a byelection is formally declared. However, before anything happens city council must first meet to declare the office vacant. A relative newcomer to city hall
McKelvie was first elected as the councillor for Ward 25 Scarborough—Rouge Park in 2018 and just recently began her second term at city hall. She currently serves as chair of Toronto’s Infrastructure and Environment Committee, where she is responsible for helping to implement the city’s Vision Zero road safety strategy. She also sits on the Toronto Hydro Corporation Board of Directors and the Toronto Zoo Board of Management.
“There were some structural difference across the city but we are finally starting to make those investments,” she said of Vision Zero during“In Scarborough, for example, we have six or seven lanes that pedestrians need to navigate and we often have long distances between signalized crossings but we are starting to put in more signalized crossings so you don’t need to jaywalk and there are more crossings that are available as well.
