Town hall features groups looking for change at city hall

A town hall discussion featuring local groups that take different approaches to push for change at city hall is set to take place at The Laughing Buddha starting at 7 p.m. Dec. 3.

The “Challenge the City!” discussion — organized by the Sudbury Media Co-op — features the Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty, the Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury and organized labour.

“In this event, we look towards the new term of city council with a recognition that it is only through ongoing organizing in the community that Sudbury might become a more just and sustainable place,” a press release said.

“The participating groups focus on different issues and take different approaches, but share a commitment to pushing the City of Greater Sudbury to improve.

“The event will be an opportunity to have a public conversation about our different ways of working for change. Each panellist will share their group's experiences around strategies, tactics, failures, and successes, leading into a broader discussion among all who attend.”

Admission is free. Light snacks will be provided.
