“We have already heard some really original and wonderful project ideas,” says Lilly Noble, Co-Chair of Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury. Examples of applications that have come in so far are a new community garden, and Operation Fruit Snacks - a pilot project that will turn surplus residential fruit into dried fruit snacks for school breakfast programs.

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.
