With a series of public meetings centred on proposed changes to emergency services infrastructure scheduled to begin on April 4, Sudbury.com did a deep dive to dig out what residents need to know to get the most out of the experience
Sweeping changes have been proposed for the city’s emergency services infrastructure, with a series of public meetings beginning on April 4 to set the record straight and gather feedback.
Why have changes been proposed? Nicholls said the proposed changes would help resolve various longstanding concerns. The city’s 24 fire/paramedic stations range in age from 17 years of age to 70 . The average age of the city’s career stations is 43, and the average age of volunteer stations is 50. The life cycle for stations is approximately 50 years.Communities rallying to retain their fire halls Residents of Skead and Beaver Lake have pushed back against proposed fire station closures in their respective communities.
Beaver Lake community advocate Brenda Salo is working on a petition to save her community’s fire station, which had approximately 350 signatures as of last month. But, community stewards vying to keep their fire stations open argue that it doesn’t have to be this way. The compliance date set by the province is July 1, 2026, and the Christian Labour Association of Canada, which represents volunteer firefighters, has argued the city has been too inflexible in achieving the requirement.
Although the Operational Research in Health Ltd. had been released to the city several months earlier , Nicholls hadn’t completed a report to accompany the outside report alongside staff recommendations. Although the 2017 report shares some similarities with the current report, including the recommended consolidation of certain fire stations, the 2017 plan was much broader in scope.
