Toronto's mayor says he is sorry after photos surfaced of John Tory in Trinity Bellwoods Park on Saturday.
Images of the mayor talking to people at the downtown park with his mask pulled down circulated on social media, sparking a backlash from online users.
Yesterday Tory issued a statement saying "I want to apologize for my personal behaviour. I fully intended to properly physically distance, but it was very difficult to do. I wore a mask into the park, but I failed to use it properly, another thing I'm disappointed about. These were mistakes that I made and as a leader in this city, I know that I must set a better example going forward."
Last week, public health officials strongly urged all of us to wear a mask in situations where physical distancing is impossible.
