Happy New Year!
When I look back at 2022, I feel a tremendous sense of gratitude, both personally and professionally. I am honoured to have been elected as Greater Sudbury’s new mayor; it’s a responsibility I take very seriously. As we head into the new year, I look forward to continuing to work with the rest of Council, both individually and collectively, to move our city forward.
One of our first challenges will be to tackle the 2023 Budget, which will be tabled at the Finance and Administration Committee on January 17. I want to thank everyone who shared their feedback during the budget engagement process in November and December. Watch for the upcoming virtual public information sessions for another opportunity to have your say.
I also look forward to continuing conversations with our community. Since taking office, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with so many residents and groups to talk about your priorities and concerns and to hear what you love about this city and what you’d love to improve upon. These conversations are important because to become one great city, we must ALL work together – Council, staff, community groups and residents.
This year will certainly bring about some challenges – but where there are challenges, there are always opportunities. By working together, we can address the challenges ahead and seize the opportunities as they arise.
I am optimistic and excited about what this year will bring. On behalf of City Council and staff, I would like to extend best wishes to you all for a safe, happy and healthy 2023!
Mayor Paul Lefebvre
