Who to Call in Greater Sudbury
The local services Sudbury residents reach for most, grouped with tappable numbers.
Greater Sudbury is a large amalgamated city, so it can be hard to know which number to reach for. These are the services residents call most, grouped by what you need. Most City services run through 311.
Looking for a family doctor
Sudbury has had a chronic family-physician shortage for years, and the City has been recruiting doctors since 2007. If you do not have a family doctor, register with Ontario's Health Care Connect, which matches people to doctors and nurse practitioners accepting new patients. Call 811 or register online; it can take time, so sign up even if you only think you might need it.
Algae advisories on the lakes
Public Health Sudbury & Districts issues and lifts blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) advisories beach by beach each summer, most often on Ramsey Lake. Check with Public Health before swimming if an advisory is in effect.
