Ashley Zarbatany — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 05:49:16 +0000

Common sense suggests that any project which would devastate one of the largest and most fragile salmon estuaries in the world is short-sighted and ill-advised.

It’s the end of the growing season for local food but not for the local food movement, which is going strong in Greater Sudbury. That positive energy and community support was well represented by a recent event at Eat Local Sudbury (ELS), when vandalism destroyed their front window.
