“I am honoured to join this dedicated team and work alongside a city that is invested in its community,” Seeler said. “There is a lot of work ahead as individuals and families are struggling to afford basic needs, but I believe with a collective determination to see change for all, the City of Greater Sudbury can make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most.”
Homelessness has become one of the city’s most persistent social problems, with dozens of tent encampments scattered throughout Greater Sudbury, including a tent city at Energy Court in the downtown. The city is also working to end homelessness in the city by 2030.
