Councillor Anthony Perruzza Toronto City Council

York West, Ward 8

September 9, 2015 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor 100 Queen Street W., 2nd Floor Toronto, ON M5H 2N2

Dear Mayor John Tory: Transparency and accountability is needed with respect to the City of Toronto’s interest in the 2024 Olympics. I urge you to call a special meeting of City Council to consider sending a letter to the International Olympic Committee expressing interest to bid for the 2024 Olympics. I know that time is short but you have the power to convene a meeting within the next few days so that City Council can make a decision one way or the other on this matter. It is a mistake on your part to continue to have, “behind the scene conversations” with folks without Council direction, while the deadline for sending a letter expressing interest in an Olympic bid slowly and surely slips away. Mr. Mayor, City of Toronto Council has a long and well deserved record of transparency and accountability. A possible Olympic bid is of such importance and interest to our City that it requires City Council consideration. Respectfully,

Anthony Perruzza City of Toronto Councillor York West – Ward 8 cc., Members of City Council and Media
