On September 16, 2014, we sent all candidates a survey, asking them for their support for safe cycling initiatives and strategies in Greater Sudbury. Two candidates did not have email addresses, and surveys were hand delivered to them on October 1, 2014.
Questions were compiled in consultation with many Greater Sudbury cyclists and reflect the issues that are important to them.
On October 1, 2014, we sent all candidates out top election priorities, asking them to support them if they are elected.
