Action Sudbury is a non-profit community organization comprised of individuals and agencies with a common goal to eliminate the tragedies caused by impaired drivers in the Sudbury Area. This volunteer group was formed in 1984 by the efforts of the late Mayor Peter Wong and citizens Bill and Linda Ryan who had just lost a child to an impaired driver. The Ryan's approached Mayor Wong to see if the City could do anything regarding impaired driving in Sudbury.
On Saturday, June 6th,
1998, Peter, Sudbury Regional Chair, (and President of Action
Sudbury) died suddenly
while on a training course in Regina. He was 66. We at Action Sudbury continue Peter's fight against
drinking and driving.
Action Sudbury
continues to fulfill it's mandate under it's current
chair Ron Roy.
Action Sudbury does not use
telemarketers or have paid staff. We are an organization consisting of
volunteers with a common goal to stop impaired driving within our community. We
hold our meetings in Tom Davis Square and therefore do not need to rent
office space. Funds raised by Action Sudbury are spent on anti-impaired driving
initiatives within our community of Greater Sudbury.
