Northern Ontario's Christian Radio Network CJTK is sponsoring a new Live At City Hall radio program, starting this Friday, March 30..

John Rodriguez, the former Nickel Belt MP who was elected mayor during last November's municipal election, will be talking about his policies, priorities at Tom Davies Square and answering questions from members of the public.

In an effort to increase accessibility to the public and encourage public participation, Rodriguez has agreed to take part in Live At City Hall, which will run once each month.

Members of the public will be able to call or email their comments, concerns and suggestions to Rodriguez live during the program's duration, said station manager Curtis Belcher.

Citizens can phone 674-2585 and talk live with the mayor during the last Friday of each month, said Belcher.

They can also send email to [email protected] and have their messages appear on a big screen in the station's studio.

Pat McNally from CJTK will co-host Live At City Hall, which will run for 30 minutes starting at 9 am.

"We are just so excited," said Belcher. "To have the mayor committed to coming in once a month to talk directly to the people he represents we think is an incredible opportunity for this community.

"I believe this is the first time in this city's history where a radio station will provide a regular opportunity for the mayor to speak directly to the people...it will be a great way for regular citizens to have direct access to the mayor's office...we're very excited."

The station has recently completed a new studio to facilitate this new program.

The station is located at 417 Notre Dame Ave. in Sudbury and listeners can tune in at K95.5 on their FM dial.

For more information, phone the station at 674-2585.
