City Councillor and TTC Chair Jaye Robinson has revealed she’s undergoing extensive treatment for breast cancer.
She released a statement saying she was recently diagnosed and that her treatment will force her to take some time away from city hall in the coming months to focus on her health.
The Ward 15 Don Valley West councillor goes on to reassure residents and TTC commuters that she has exceptional and experienced teams who will continue to serve on her behalf.
”My family and I thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time,” Robinson shared on Twitter.
Mayor John Tory issued a statement saying his thoughts are with Robinson who chaired last week’s TTC meeting even after the diagnosis.
”I’m confident that strength, grit and determination will serve her well as she undergoes treatment,” the mayor said.
