Mayor Tory has written to Vicente Gonzalez Loscertales, the secretary-general of the World Expo authority in Paris, asking him to visit Toronto and address leaders on how to bid on the 2025 event. World Expo is a project very dear to Ward 27 Councilor Kristyn Wong-Tam it appears. She claims the event would bring an “expected 40 million global visitors to Toronto.” This is recounted in the Toronto Star where there is no mention of the cost. Any formal bid for the Expo would have to be made by November of 2016. Earlier this week, Tory said he will not be rushing into a bid for the 2024 Olympics and will consult with councillors and the public.
