A major component of this process relies on identifying the policing priorities of the community we serve, and as such, are holding a series of community consultations to discuss policing and crime issues.
Members of the public are invited to attend a Safety Forum to be held in or near their community. It is a great opportunity to voice safety concerns in regards to policing issues in their respective area.

Meet and mingle with your fellow Garson and Falconbridge residents and find out more about the Garson-Falconbridge Community Action Network.

Community Yard Sale
Would you like to remove some clutter from your home and make a few dollars?  Are you looking for some good quality used clothing and household items?  Does your club or organization have items to sell?  Then join us for Garson’s largest yard sale!  We will be hosting a community yard sale in the parking lot of the Garson Arena from 11 am to 3 pm.  Bring your items to sell and pick up some deals from your neighbours! The yard sale will be advertised in local newspapers, drawing interested buyers from throughout Greater Sudbury.  In the event of rain, yard sale will be held in the upstairs hall in the Garson arena. To reserve your table, pick up and complete a form at the Garson library/Citizen Service Centre.  Tables are $15 for one 8 ft. table and chair, and $10 for additional tables.  Payment must be made in advance to secure your spot!  For more information, please contact Barb McDougall-Murdoch at the City of Greater Sudbury, 674-4455 ext. 2422, or by email at barb.mcdougall@greatersudbury.ca. Proceeds from the Community Yard Sale will go towards community improvements in Garson and Falconbridge.  Set up begins at 8:30am.
