Our strength is found in our differences and we strive to embrace diversity in all that we do. Our mission is best fulfilled when we honour diversity as a value and a practice. In doing so, our community will attract and retain the most talented and skilled people to the City of Greater Sudbury, and this will benefit our economy and our quality of life. Achieving diversity requires an enduring commitment to human dignity and inclusion that must find full expression in our organizational culture, values, norms and behaviours.”

As a community, we should continue to recognize our differences and embrace our uniqueness, continuing to welcome all new residents to this great City.
