Crosses for Change Permanent Installation

Honouring lives. Preserving a place of remembrance. 

Crosses for Change has become an important place of remembrance for families, friends and the Greater Sudbury community to honour those lost to the opioid crisis. 

As the memorial has grown over time, the City of Greater Sudbury is working with community partners to create a permanent installation that will preserve its significance while ensuring it remains a welcoming, accessible place for reflection, hope and resilience for years to come. 

This project will be developed through the City's Public Art Program and informed by meaningful engagement with families, community organizations, people with lived experience and other community partners. 

The permanent installation will be located in Carleton Park and will be integrated with planned improvements associated with the Paris-Notre-Dame Bikeway Project.
