Volunteer your time for something great this summer!



From Aug. 5 to 7, Greater Sudbury will welcome participants from across the province for the 2025 Ontario 55+ Summer Games – a premier multi-sport event that celebrates active living, community spirit and friendly competition for those aged 55 and over.

Hosting an event of this scale takes a dedicated team of volunteers – and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for hundreds of volunteers to help in a variety of roles throughout the three days. If you’re interested in being part of something great, register today and help us make this event a success!

Registration closes July 14.

Meet Florence!

Florence is a handsome two-year-old domestic medium-hair cat with a love for exploring, treats, gentle pets and peace and quiet. Independent yet affectionate on his own terms, he enjoys lounging in comfy spots and doing his own thing. He can be a bit grumbly or vocal at times, but don’t let that fool you—he still appreciates attention and will let you know when he’s in the mood for some company.

Florence has gotten along with some female cats, but may be happiest as the only pet in a calm, quiet home. If you’re looking for a mellow, low-maintenance companion who respects your space and offers the occasional cuddle, Florence could be the one for you.

To apply, visit our website or call us at 705-694-7387.

Summer’s here – come and explore Greater Sudbury Museums’ Anderson Farm Museum! We’re open Wednesday to Saturday from July 2 to Aug. 29, and we’d love to see you. Drop by for a free tour of the site, including the newly reopened farmhouse!

There’s something for everyone this summer, so bring your friends and family and enjoy all the museum has to offer. Be sure to follow us on social media and check the Events and Programs section of our website for the latest updates.

We know residents care about keeping their neighbourhoods clean and preventing animals from getting into their garbage. Lately, some tips have been circulating on social media—such as sprinkling chili powder, cayenne pepper or household cleaners on garbage bags to deter wildlife. While these suggestions may seem helpful, they are not recommended by the City and can actually pose health risks to the people who collect your waste.

We’ve recently seen several incidents involving strong chemicals and other substances placed in household garbage. Even small amounts can make workers sick if inhaled, touched or blown into the eyes by the wind.

We’re asking residents to avoid putting any substances on their garbage bags. Instead, please bring household hazardous waste—such as chemicals and cleaners—to a proper depot. Not sure where an item should go? Visit greatersudbury.ca/wastelookup or call 311 for help.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and healthy.
