Tomorrow, Aubrey Graham, former cast member of popular Canadian television show Degrassi, will receive the key to the city of Toronto from mayor John Tory. Tory took to Twitter today to make the announcement and express his appreciation for all that Jimmy Brooks has done for his city.

I was lucky recently to spend time with a man who is well known in our city and around the world. — John Tory (@JohnTory) February 11, 2016

I knew his name, I knew his face & I knew his music. And we wanted the chance to get to know one another, and talk about the city we love. — John Tory (@JohnTory) February 11, 2016

In our conversations, he told me how he feels about Toronto. He told me what it means to him to be from here, and the role he wants to play.

He talked about wanting to contribute & for the city to see him as more than just a name – but a force of good.

He talked about his desire to build our music scene, to inspire youth and help address the social issues felt across Toronto. — John Tory (@JohnTory) February 11, 2016

This is a man who has achieved wild success, by any standard. And more than anything, he wants great things for Toronto. — John Tory (@JohnTory) February 11, 2016

This is a man who could live anywhere, but calls Toronto home. He wants us to be proud of him. And we are. I am.

Toronto must tell its stories. We must celebrate our talent & harness it for change. This isn’t swagger. It is key. pic.twitter.com/GZZXD0cg0r
