  • Report of the Greater Sudbury Community Solutions Team January 2007
    REPORT OF THE GREATER SUDBURY COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS TEAM JANUARY 2007 CONSTELLATION, (noun) • A fixed group of stars to which a definite name has been given • Any brilliant, outstanding group or assemblage January 4, 2007 Mayor John Rodriguez and Members of Council I am pleased to present you with this final report of the Community Solutions Team. Our team has lived up to its name over the course of the last eight months; the team members [one from each of the former outside municipalities] worked together with passion and commitment to find solutions and create recommendations that, if adopted, will serve our entire city – not just the communities outside the city core – well into the future. These seven volunteers care very much about their own local community but also understand the need for a cohesive, vibrant City of Greater Sudbury. They are outstanding examples of the kind of citizens Greater Sudbury has to offer. It has been a privilege to work with them. I would like to acknowledge the former Council and Mayor Dave Courtemanche for initiating this valuable process. It has allowed citizens in the smaller communities to be heard and to have a real opportunity to provide concrete input that will help to build our city. The public interest and support for this process has been impressive. More than 700 people attended the 26 consultation sessions and provided a great deal of information and suggestions for the team’s consideration. In addition, 35 people volunteered to serve on our working groups, devoting four full evenings to help with the assessment and detailing of proposed solutions.
