Older Adult – Seniors and other Issues.
Sudbury Mayoralty All Candidates Meeting – Oct 7th
All candidates for Mayor in the forthcoming municipal election on Oct. 27th have been invited to meet with interested citizens at a special event sponsored by Friendly to Seniors – Sudbury, the local chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) in conjunction with the Older Adult Parkside Centre. A similar event was held at the same location during the last election campaign and was well attended, and will be moderated again by well know Sudburian Gerry Labelle.
Candidates will be given the opportunity to present their platforms and answer questions, particular to, but not necessarily related to seniors issues. While the event which will take place from 1.30 p.m to 3.00 p.m. will be of particular interest to older citizens those citizens of other ages available at this time are also invited to attend.
No other recent local election has raised as much interest as the current contest and is of such significant importance.
As Sudbury’s older adult population continues to grow there is considerable concern with respect to the direction our municipality is moving with regards to accommodating Seniors issues, particularly in the areas of increased taxation, affordable housing, maintaining infrastructure and quality of life matters including health care etc.
Those interested should be present at the Older Adult Parkside Centre in the Centre for Life 144 Durham Street prior to the 1.30 p.m. start of the meeting. Refreshments will be available.

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
