July 1st not only marked a celebration of Canada Day, but it also meant the start of certain municipal changes in Greater Sudbury.

Now only compostable paper bags and securely tied bundles will be acceptable for curb-side leaf and yard collections.

No plastic bags.

Changes were made to the rates at municipal parking lots.

Both monthly and daily fees have slightly increased.

Plus there is a 1.7% increase in development charges, which takes effect for the full year.
