Greater Sudbury City Council

New ward boundaries in 2006.

Greater Sudbury City Council (French: Conseil municipal du Grand Sudbury) is the governing body of the City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

The council consists of the mayor plus a twelve-person council. The city is divided into twelve wards; each ward is represented by one councillor. The council meets at Tom Davies Square.

The city was created by amalgamating the former City of Sudbury with six suburban municipalities on January 1, 2001. Initially, the council structure consisted of six wards, each represented by two councillors. Ward boundaries in the new city were drawn by grouping former suburban municipalities with adjacent neighbourhoods in the former city. For the 2006 municipal election, council was reorganized into twelve single-member wards.

Past mayors of the city and the former suburban municipalities are listed at List of mayors of Sudbury, Ontario.

Marianne Matichuk | Mayor |
Joe Cimino | Ward 1 | Elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on June 12, 2014.[1]
Gerry McIntaggart | Ward 1 | Appointed on July 8, 2014, as temporary interim councillor following Cimino's resignation.[2]
Jacques Barbeau | Ward 2 |
Claude Berthiaume | Ward 3 |
Evelyn Dutrisac | Ward 4 |
Ron Dupuis | Ward 5 |
André Rivest | Ward 6 |
Dave Kilgour | Ward 7 |
Fabio Belli | Ward 8 | Died in office in April 2014.[3]
Al Sizer | Ward 8 | Appointed on June 26, 2014, as temporary interim councillor following Belli's death.[4]
Doug Craig | Ward 9 |
Frances Caldarelli | Ward 10 |
Terry Kett | Ward 11 |
Joscelyne Landry-Altmann | Ward 12 |

As the vacancies in wards 1 and 8 occurred less than six months prior to the 2014 municipal election, by provincial law both were required to be filled by temporary appointment to the seat rather than in a conventional by-election. Sizer was appointed on June 26 to succeed Belli,[4] and McIntaggart was appointed on July 8 to succeed Cimino.[2] Unlike many cities in similar circumstances, Greater Sudbury City Council opted not to impose a requirement that the appointed councillors could not run for reelection in 2014; Sizer chose to run as a candidate and won reelection, while McIntaggart did not run.
