City drainage Val Caron water tank

The City of Greater Sudbury will drain the Val Caron water tank from May 10-24 to conduct maintenance tests. Residents shouldn’t notice any change in the service, but may notice some discoloration of the water.

If residents notice discolored water, they should run the cold water tap closest to the water meter for a few minutes until the water is free of sediment from water pipes. In the event of prolonged discoloration or low water pressure, residents are advised to call 311.

Money for local legions

Two branches of the Royal Canadian Legion in the Nickel Belt Riding have received special financial support from Ottawa.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 503 Onaping Falls will receive $ 5,593 to replace and build a new cenotaph.

To preserve the heritage and history of the original monument, the existing plaque will be restored and installed on the new cenotaph. The inscription reads in both French and English “At sunset and in the morning we will remember them”.

Public Health Client Services on the move

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is advising its clients from May 10th on the following temporary service locations to carry out the infrastructure renovation project at its 1300 Paris Street location:

– Most direct public health clinical services, including vaccination, breastfeeding and oral health clinics, will be relocated to Pariser Strasse 1300 on the first floor.

– Public Health’s environmental health services will be relocated to 1855 Lasalle Blvd. This includes services for customers who need to meet with a public health inspector for reasons such as a consultation for a grocery store, sewage treatment plant, small drinking water system, air quality, housing, West Nile disease, Lyme disease, or rabies. Anyone who picks up water sampling bottles or submits a water sample analysis will continue to go to the Public Health Ontario laboratory at 1300 Paris St.
