As the city filed it

As the Advocate for Technology and Innovation for the City of Toronto, I attended, with my Chief of Staff, the Cities Forum 2023 in Torino, Italy. The conference was held in March, 2023. Additional meetings were also arranged with other Torino government officials. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the return flight to Toronto was missed which required the booking of an additional flight and an extra night's accommodation in Italy.

This resulted in the overall cost of the trip for both myself and my Chief of Staff to exceed $7.0 thousand. Pursuant to the Constituency Services and Office Budget Policy, travel expenses over $7.0 thousand must be approved by City Council. The expenses will be paid out of my Constituency Services and Office Budget.
