After two stabbings in downtown Sudbury, one of them fatal, the City of Greater Sudbury formed a Task Team to examine what’s going on and come up with solutions to make things cleaner and safer.  Mell & Chris talked with Mayor Brian Bigger about the state of our downtown and what various agencies propose to rectify some of those problems.

 

Bob Johnston is a name and face familiar to many who have fallen though the cracks.  Bob makes it his business to advocate and work to serve the homeless, and those with addiction and mental health issues.  After talking with Mayor Bigger we called Bob to find out what’s happening downtown and his thoughts on the problems and solutions.

There are good, solid, long standing businesses downtown who just want it to be safer for everyone.
