Three Toronto councillors who have a combined total of 80 years of public service are attending their final city council meeting today.
Denzil Minnan-Wong, Ana Bailão, and John Filion have all decided not to seek re-election in the upcoming municipal election this fall.
Tory said Minnan-Wong, Bailao, and Filion, despite their “difficult decision to withdraw,” are all still making “great contributions and are at the top of their game.” Calling Bailao both a champion for the residents of Davenport as well as a champion for housing, Tory said she was a “sight to behold” when it came to both working with other levels of government and within the city and getting things done.
Tory also acknowledged former Coun. Joe Cressy for his leadership as chair of the Toronto Board of Health, notably his work to help navigate the city through the COVID-19 pandemic. Tory spoke at length about Cressy’s contributions to the city during the last City Council meeting, He said the pandemic was “the most extraordinary challenge probably put before any city administration in the last 100 years.
