Background
In August 2015, the Community Services Committee of Council directed staff to prepare a report to Council on the optimization of fire services, stations and service levels. In February 2016, the motion was amended to include Paramedic Services. The final report will be presented at a Special Meeting of City Council on March 22, 2017. This meeting is open to the public and will be live streamed at www.greatersudbury.ca.
