Sudbury's Vital Signs Report 2007

Message from the President and Chair

In 2006, the Sudbury Community Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary. Over this past decade, the Foundation has been strongly committed to enhancing the quality of life and sustainability of our community through fund development, grant making, and leadership.

This year marks another milestone as the Sudbury Community Foundation joins with 10 other community foundations across Canada to present Vital Signs reports to their communities.

Sudbury's Vital Signs is the first annual check-up of our city's quality of life. We hope this report will help focus attention and discussion on key areas integral to our community's well-being. It can also help us to see the inter-connections among elements. By cutting across issues in this way we can better understand the fabric of our city and work more effectively toward a vibrant and sustainable community.
