Toronto City Councillor Joe Cressy is making a career change, leaving municipal politics for a new position at George Brown College.
Cressy, who currently serves as the chair of the Toronto Board of Health and as a city councillor, announced his resignation at a press conference on Tuesday.
He said his final city council meeting will be this week, and his final board of health meeting will be on Monday.
Cressy has served as a city councillor, representing the people of Spadina-Fort York, since 2014.
Cressy said he will be taking a new position at George Brown College as senior vice president for external relations, communications and real estate development.
Cressy said he believes in the “power of municipal government.”
“However, I also believe in entering politics effecting change and moving on to contribute elsewhere,” he said. “It’s time for a new councillor’s voice at City Hall, and this October residents of Spadina-Fort York will have a chance to elect their new representative.”
