Perhaps John Lindsay is on to something with
his "See Sudbury" image-marketing proposal.
But at the same time as the catchy phrase hit
me, a question immediately came to mind.
Why?
Why should someone who has never been here,
or not been here for a long time, want to see the Greater
Sudbury of today?
Lindsay is a bright guy whom I admire,
respect and whom I encourage to continue his efforts as a
booster of our community.
Maybe he could be persuaded to submit his
list of reasons why a stranger anywhere in the world would
visit Sudbury and return home to shout the praises of such a
wonderful place to vacation or even to live, work, and raise a
family.
How about every resident of Greater Sudbury
sitting down and writing up a list of reasons why our community
is seriously worth a look-see? Then send the list to the
branding project at the Greater Sudbury Development Corporation
in Tom Davies Square. (And to Northern Life, as well).
After all, if we don't believe this is the
best place in the world to live, work, play or raise a family,
why are we here?
