The public is invited to celebrate Greater Sudbury’s wealth of grassroots community efforts at Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury’s 2016 Annual General Meeting on June 2.
All around Greater Sudbury, people are saying ‘yes in my backyard’ to positive changes like community gardens, community art, safe bike routes, safe crosswalks, regreening, and rain gardens and shoreline plantings to keep lakes healthy.
The AGM will be held at the Living with Lakes Centre (840 Ramsey Lake Rd.) and will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The organization's annual report will be presented, as well as highlights from the past 10 years, panel discussion, conversation, refreshments, slide show and community booths celebrating the wonderful community work making positive change in Greater Sudbury.
On the panel are Jodi Armstrong (Save the Mountain Coalition), Elizabeth June Davis (Louis Street Community Association), and Linda Hachez (Master Gardener), three local women who are making a wonderful difference in their community.
The coalition is also inviting members of the public to share in celebrating positive change in the community.
Residents are invited to share what positive change they have been a part of and what positive change they would like to see.
Stories can be submitted in words, pictures, audio or video by June 1, and share with Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury at clsudbury@live.com.
Entries will be shared at the AGM and on social media.
