My Vision for Ward 2 – Greater Sudbury

A focused platform built on evidence, community input, and a vision for a stronger, more connected Ward 2.

Economic Development

  • Support local businesses and reduce unnecessary barriers to growth
  • Advocate for investment that creates sustainable, high-quality jobs
  • Promote development that strengthens Ward 2 while protecting neighbourhood character
  • Support mining, innovation, tourism, and small business opportunities
01
Support local businesses and reduce unnecessary barriers to growth.

I will support practical decisions at council that make it easier for local businesses, and contractors, to grow without unnecessary delays or red tape.

02
Advocate for investment that creates sustainable, high-quality jobs.

I will advocate investments that support jobs connected to mining, construction, trades, infrastructure upgrades, recreation, and small businesses.

03
Promote development that strengthens Ward 2 while protecting neighbourhood character.

Growth must fit the community. I will push for responsible planning that respects existing neighbourhoods, protects green space, and ensures roads, water, wastewater, drainage, and services can support our future growth.

04
Support mining, innovation, tourism, and small business opportunities.

Ward 2 is well positioned to benefit from Sudbury's mining supply and economy, while also promoting local recreation assets, trails, lakes, ski hill, and community events that bring people into our businesses and neighbourhoods.

Safe & Healthy Communities

  • Improve neighbourhood safety through stronger partnerships with community organizations, emergency services, and social service providers
  • Support initiatives that address the growing homelessness, addictions, and mental health challenges
  • Ensure parks, trails, and public spaces are safe and welcoming for residents of all ages
  • Promote programs that support seniors, youth, and families
01
Improve neighbourhood safety through stronger partnerships with community organizations, emergency services, and social service providers.

Ward 2 residents want safe streets, safe parks, and services that respond. I will work with Greater Sudbury Police, fire services, and paramedics, community groups, schools, local service clubs, and neighbourhood organizations to address concerns before they become larger problems.

02
Support initiatives that address the growing homelessness, addictions, and mental health challenges.

These challenges are not limited to downtown Sudbury. Ward 2 needs to support a balanced approach that helps people in crisis.

03
Ensure parks, trails, and public spaces are safe and welcoming for residents of all ages.

Ward 2 families rely on our local parks, playgrounds, trails, arenas, the Lively Ski Hill, lakes, and recreation spaces. I will advocate for proper maintenance, lighting where appropriate, and a space that provides protection from the elements, and address safety concerns when raised.

04
Promote programs that support seniors, youth, and families.

Strong communities need activities and support for every stage of life. I will support affordable recreation, youth sports, seniors' programming, family events, and partnerships that keep people connected close to home.

Roads, Infrastructure & Housing

  • Prioritize road repairs, sidewalks, drainage improvements, and snow removal
  • Advocate for investments in aging infrastructure before problems become emergencies
  • Support responsible housing development, including affordable and attainable housing options
  • Encourage redevelopment of vacant and underutilized properties
01
Prioritize road repairs, sidewalks, drainage improvements, and snow removal.

Roads and winter maintenance are daily quality-of-life issues in Ward 2. I will push for attention to our rural roads, residential streets, main routes, sidewalks, ditching, drainage, and snow clearing across all of Ward 2.

02
Advocate for investments in aging infrastructure before problems become emergencies.

Ward 2 has older infrastructure in established communities and growing pressure in developing areas. I will support proper investment in water, wastewater, stormwater, culverts, bridges, and roads so residents are not impacted when failure forces emergency repairs.

03
Support responsible housing development, including affordable and attainable housing options.

Ward 2 needs housing that allows seniors to downsize, young families to stay, and workers to live close to where they work. I will support housing growth that is properly serviced, fits the community, and includes affordable options.

04
Encourage redevelopment of vacant and underutilized properties.

Reusing vacant lots, older properties, and underused commercial spaces can strengthen Ward 2. I will support redevelopment that improves neighbourhood appearance, creates local opportunity, and makes better use of existing services.

Transparent & Accountable Leadership

  • Make decisions based on facts, community input, and fiscal responsibility
  • Hold regular Ward 2 town halls and community meetings
  • Improve communication so residents know what is happening in their neighbourhood
  • Ensure taxpayers receive value for every dollar spent
01
Make decisions based on facts, community input, and fiscal responsibility.

Ward 2 residents deserve a councillor who listens first, gathers the facts, and makes decisions. I will be clear about why I support or oppose decisions at City Hall.

02
Hold regular Ward 2 town halls and community meetings.

Ward 2 covers several distinct communities, each with different concerns. I will hold meetings in those local locations and ensure residents from Lively, Copper Cliff, Naughton, Whitefish, Beaver Lake, Worthington, and rural areas have opportunities to be heard.

03
Improve communication so residents know what is happening in their neighbourhood.

Residents should not have to search for answers. I will provide clear updates on road work, construction, planning applications, recreation issues, emergency notices, budget decisions, and matters affecting Ward 2.

04
Ensure taxpayers receive value for every dollar spent.

Taxpayers in Ward 2 expect basic services to be reliable and spending to be responsible. I will focus on priorities such as roads, infrastructure, recreation, emergency services, and community safety, while questioning spending that does not deliver value.

Strong Community Connections

  • Support local volunteers, community groups, sports organizations, and cultural activities
  • Promote beautification initiatives and neighbourhood pride
  • Work collaboratively with residents, businesses, and community stakeholders to solve local challenges
  • Be visible, accessible, and responsive to Ward 2 residents
01
Support local volunteers, community groups, sports organizations, and cultural activities.

Ward 2 is built on volunteers who support minor sports, service clubs, recreation programs, community events, trails, seniors' activities, and local fundraising. I will make sure these groups are partners in building our community.

02
Promote beautification initiatives and neighbourhood pride.

Small improvements matter. Clean entrances, well-maintained public spaces, community gardens, signage, litter cleanup, and beautification projects can strengthen pride in Lively, Copper Cliff, Naughton, Whitefish, Beaver Lake, Worthington, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

03
Work collaboratively with residents, businesses, and community stakeholders to solve local challenges.

The best solutions often come from the people closest to the issue. I will work directly with residents, businesses, schools, and city staff to address problems quickly and practically.

04
Be visible, accessible, and responsive to Ward 2 residents.

Ward 2 needs representation that shows up. I will be present at community events, responsive to calls and emails, and committed to following up so residents know their concerns are being taken seriously.

"Ward 2 deserves strong leadership that listens, acts, and delivers results. My commitment is to improve infrastructure, support economic growth, and ensure residents have strong representation at City Hall. Together, we can create Ward 2 that is vibrant, connected, and ready for the future."

— Glen Duffy
