What Happened
Former Toronto city councillor and provincial MPP Giorgio Mammoliti has died at the age of 64. Reports indicate that Mammoliti suffered an accidental fall at his home in Wasaga Beach before being transported to a trauma center, where he was placed on life support and later passed away. His son, Chris Mammoliti, confirmed the news, stating that his father was surrounded by family at the time of his death.
Why It Matters
Mammoliti had a significant impact on Toronto’s political landscape, serving six terms on the city council from 1998 to 2018. He represented North York Humber and York West during his tenure and was also an NDP member of provincial parliament from 1990 to 1995. His contributions to public service were acknowledged by Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, who expressed her condolences and recognized Mammoliti’s dedication to the community.
What’s Next
In honor of Mammoliti’s legacy, flags at Toronto City Hall and other civic centers will be flown at half-mast from February 25 until a date to be confirmed. His family has requested privacy during this difficult time but plans to share viewing information as it becomes available.
