Statement from the Mayor on the Northern Ontario School of Medicine

Jun 4, 2021

On behalf of the City of Greater Sudbury, I want to congratulate the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) on the historic news that it is one step closer to becoming Canada’s first stand-alone medical school.

NOSM provides a unique post-secondary experience and a distinctive model of medical education, one that is engaged with – and socially accountable to – the communities it represents. Its uniqueness is directly attributed to the partnerships and collaborations it has established with far north communities and with the many Indigenous and Francophone groups, hospitals and health services that are seen across the north.

The City has long been a proud supporter of NOSM and the incredible work it does to address the health needs and contribute to the economic vitality of our region. We look forward to continuing collaboration in the months and years to come.

Mayor Brian Bigger
