Welcome: Bonjour -Aaniin

Thanks for Visiting:

This site is dedicated to preserving the past and ensuring our future:

Homeless Solution: Creation of "Homeless Hub" here

Our Sudbury Community Arena can be preserved click here

History of the Arena Saga here

A four minute video by CARP Sudbury President on site at the present arena explains that a previous problem with parking has now been solved.

Is the proposed new arena a "Boondoggle?   According to the Cambridge Dictionary it is "an unnecessary and expensive piece of work, especially one that is paid for by the public" Does that not describe the proposed new "Event Centre" to replace our current arena which it said could cost over half a billion dollars (500 +M) especially since the proposed site may be unsuitable due to "difficult" soil conditions in land cleared for this purpose?

A rundown of expenses for various options are contained in the attached report by Mr. Tom Price of the Our Towns - Our City Institute click here

There has been very little public consultation with respect to the city plans for a new "Event Centre".  There is a petition which can be accessed at:

Special Note:  We are prepared at any time to discuss this matter with the Mayor, city councillors and staff preferably in a public forum

There is also concern with respect to the proposed "Culture Hub" for Tom Davies Square to accommodate the current library and art gallery which most responsible citizens oppose:
