TORONTO (NEWS1130) – Rob Ford will return to Toronto city hall “in the later portion of the afternoon” on June 30, according to a letter the mayor sent to the city clerk’s office.
Ford asked the clerk to change back his office locks by 1 p.m. (Eastern)
The letter is dated June 2, but the clerk did not receive the letter until Monday, City of Toronto spokesperson Jackie DeSouza said in an email.
The embattled mayor has been in rehab since announcing on April 30 he was seeking help for an alcohol problem, just as new accusations of substance abuse surfaced in several published reports.
Ford has been faced with reports of drug use since May, 2013, when the Toronto Star and the US website Gawker reported seeing a video that appeared to show him smoking crack cocaine.
Months later, Ford admitted to trying the drug while in one of his “drunken stupors” and to using drugs while in office.
