As the city filed it

I am writing to formally resign from my position as Chair of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Subcommittee and as a member of the subcommittee, effective immediately. It has been an honour to contribute to the planning and oversight of Toronto's role in the FIFA World Cup 2026. This event represents a historic opportunity for our city, and I am proud of the work we have done to prepare for it. However, as my responsibilities as Budget Chief, Chair of the Toronto Police Service Board, and the Mayor's Economic Development & Culture Champion continue to grow, I have determined that it is in the best interest of both the subcommittee and myself to step away at this time to ensure that I can fully dedicate my efforts to these critical roles.

I remain committed to the success of the tournament and to ensuring that Toronto delivers an unforgettable experience for players, fans, and residents. I am grateful for the dedication and collaboration of my colleagues on the subcommittee, and I wish the team continued success as preparations move forward. Please let me know how I can assist in ensuring a smooth transition.
