Just want to know more about how it works? Your City Your Voice can connect you to information, resources, and like-minded people to demystify and support you in becoming a candidate for councillor or mayor in Greater Sudbury. Your City Your Voice is open to all. We especially encourage Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+, women, gender diverse, and young people to participate.
