#saveLUgreenspace candidate pledge: NDP candidates Jamie West (Sudbury) and France Gélinas (Nickel Belt), Liberal candidates David Farrow (Sudbury) and Gilles Proulx (Nickel Belt), and Green candidates David Robinson (Sudbury) and Glenys Babcock (Nickel Belt) have signed the #saveLUgreenspace candidate pledge that states, “If elected, I pledge to actively support the protection of the LU greenspace in its natural state, as a freely accessible community greenspace.”
Laurentian University is currently drafting a Plan of Arrangement for creditors under the CCAA process. This could put the LU greenspace at risk of being sold for private development.
