TORONTO

The Rob Ford Rangers dropped off four construction helmets to the mayor on Thursday.

Jim McMillan — a Ward 18 council candidate who often sits outside the mayor’s office to show his support for Ford — started the volunteer group to clean up areas around the city in the name of Mayor Ford.

The Rangers aren’t officially sanctioned by Ford or the Ford campaign.

McMillan met with Ford in the mayor’s office reception area to hand over four construction helmets — at least one with a TTC logo on it — that he found during a clean-up near St. George Station.

“He’s going to be calling in the TTC chair,” McMillan said after the meeting.

A sign on McMillan’s shopping cart includes a poem about the Rob Ford Rangers:

“Rob Ford rangers on patrol, cleaning our city is our goal. Dirty streets and transit is sad, volunteer and make Rob glad.”

McMillan declined to say how many volunteers are part of the Rangers.

“We don’t want to talk about that sir,” he said. “So the others don’t get the idea and follow it with something else.”

TTC spokesman Brad Ross doubted the hard hats belonged to the TTC but couldn’t say definitely.

“No reflective strip would indicate these are not TTC hats,” Ross said.

He also pointed out hard hats do have expiration dates and that may be why they were discarded.
