It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Gerry Montpellier, Ward 3 Councillor.

“On behalf of City Council, I send my heartfelt condolences to Gerry’s wife, son, family and friends,” said Greater Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre. “He was a devoted advocate for his community and a champion of initiatives in Ward 3. Mourning the loss of Gerry while still grieving the recent passing of Michael Vagnini is an unprecedented and sorrowful experience for our Council, our employees and our community.”
