City staff stealing packages, working other jobs on sick leave: What Toronto's auditor uncovered in 2025
Toronto's auditor general will present her annual fraud hotline report Thursday


Thousands of dollars in missing packages from mailrooms, a city employee taking weeks of paid sick leave to work another job and a retiree's credentials being used to attempt multi-million-dollar fraud are just some of the highlights in an annual report from Toronto’s auditor general being presented Thursday.

Several employees involved in examples laid out in the auditor general’s report on the fraud and waste hotline no longer work for the city and are ineligible to be rehired. The annual report will be presented to councillors Thursday at the audit committee.

The impact of fraud goes deeper than just financial losses, Tara Anderson, the city’s auditor general, writes in her report.

Its all Olivia Chow's fault......

As of the end of December 2025, there were 42,702 active employees in the Toronto Public Service.

That does not include employees working in the City’s Agencies, Boards or Commissions (TTC, Police, Library, Association of Community Centres, etc.), Accountability Offices, or elected officials.

I've read some other large organizations may have "A few bad apples".

Would not be surprised if the City of Toronto does too.
