Canada Global (Web News) This will mark the first time Toronto City Council has convened since the resignation of former mayor John Tory.
After admitting to having a “inappropriate affair” with a former member of his staff, Tory resigned last month.
The official declaration of the mayor’s office as empty and the adoption of a bylaw mandating a byelection are two topics that councillors will be discussing during their three-day meeting.
By doing that, the city would be one step closer to choosing a new mayor.
Voters are anticipated to cast their ballots in the election to succeed Tory on June 26, according to a schedule already established by the city clerk, but council approval is required.
Nominations for the mayor’s position would likely start on April 3 and end on May 12, with early voting being possible from June 8 to June 13, when council approves a bylaw requiring a byelection.
