In the late 1970s, the family relocated to Toronto. When Skoll was fourteen, his father was diagnosed with cancer, which prompted him to express his regret at not having had enough time to complete all of his life’s plans for his son. His first employment was as a gas pump attendant at a York Mills gas station.
