Full Podcast: https://lovethenorth.ca/article/261009-sudbury-ward-11-amy-voz Ward 11 candidate Amy Voz raises a question Northern Ontarians have asked for generations: **Sudbury is incredibly resource rich — so why does it sometimes feel like so much of the wealth created here leaves the North?** Voz points to Sudbury’s long history of mining and the enormous economic value that has been generated from nickel, minerals and other resources extracted from the region. Yet residents are still dealing with aging infrastructure, deteriorating roads, water and sewer problems, and municipal budgets struggling to keep up. For Voz, that disconnect deserves a much closer look. She says Sudbury has spent generations helping drive the economy far beyond Northern Ontario. Our mines, workers, roads and infrastructure support industries and supply chains that benefit the province, the country and the world. Her question is whether enough of the economic benefit created here is ultimately coming back to help maintain the communities where that wealth originates. Voz argues that Greater Sudbury should be pushing provincial and federal governments harder for infrastructure investment and a stronger return for the North. **If billions of dollars in resources are leaving Northern Ontario, Northern communities should not be left struggling to repair the roads and infrastructure that help make that economy possible.** Her message is not that Sudbury should keep everything generated here. It is that a resource-producing region should have the infrastructure, services and investment necessary to remain strong for the people who live here. #Sudbury #AmyVoz #Ward11 #NorthernOntario #Mining #ResourceEconomy #Infrastructure #Roads #CityHall #GreaterSudbury #LoveTheNorth
