Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce Open Forum

Together let’s start the conversation on city council structure

Times are changing and the needs of the city are changing with it. Is it time to consider modifying the current structure of Sudbury’s municipal council from a 12 – ward, part-time councillor system to another model of representation? We do not have the answers, nor a position, but want to start the conversation and hear from experienced stakeholders and local citizens.

The chamber invites you to participate in our open forum. The forum will include four panellists who will each speak to their experience, followed by an open discussion.

This forum is FREE to the public.

Panellists

1. Bob Segsworth Ph.D CE FCES, Professor, Department of Political Science, Laurentian University
2. Rebecca Johnson, Councillor at Large, City of Thunder Bay
3. Mac Bain, Councillor, City of North Bay
4. Jim Gordon, Former Mayor, City of Greater Sudbury

Moderated by: Jason Turnbull, Host  CBC Points North
