The newly elected president and CEO of CVRD Inco says the people of Greater Sudbury can “expect to see very little change” with how the mining company is run.

Murilo Ferreira made the statement at a Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce luncheon Friday afternoon.

“We are aware and very proud of Inco's place in the Sudbury community, and we are not looking to make major changes in how things are done. It is a very successful company,” he says.

“We have done the integration of two great companies without layoffs. No layoffs, in fact, usually associated with these types of acquisitions. We are very proud of this.”

Ferreira wowed the audience by making a $375,000 donation to the Sudbury Food Bank. CVRD Inco and the Sudbury Wolves hosting the popular Sudbury Saturday Night in aid of the food bank Saturday night at the Sudbury Arena when the Wolves host the Mississauga Ice Dogs.
