The bright green leaves of summer are at last making their beautiful transition into the golds, reds and browns of autumn. With so much nature surrounding us, it's no wonder that fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Greater Sudbury.
The new 2010-2011 Fall/Winter Leisure Guide will give you and your family plenty of ideas to stay physically and mentally in shape this season. From cooking to art classes, and from hockey to yoga programs, let the Leisure Guide help you get motivated. One of the most beautiful areas of the City to visit this season is, no doubt, Onaping Falls. Onaping High Falls is one of the most beautiful and also one of the biggest waterfalls in the province. If you've never visited, now is definitely the time to plan a trip. Also be sure to check out the mysudbury Community Events Calendar. There is something for everyone! Just click on a date and see what's happening! We are also looking for new candidates for the Newcomer Testimonial section of our Newcomers site. As a newcomer to the City, we want to hear your story. Your insight is needed to help others looking to come to Greater Sudbury. If you would like to participate, check out the contact info listed at the bottom of this newsletter. Newcomer Testimonial - Shuayb Mohammad Abidi Want to know what other Newcomers say about living in the City of Greater Sudbury? Check out this season's Newcomer Testimonial from Shuayb Mohammad Abidi and learn about real experiences, from a real Newcomer. From educational opportunities to leisure activities, there is an answer for everything you need to know before making the City of Greater Sudbury your perfect new home. Shuayb has been a resident of the City of Greater Sudbury for 14 months. Originally from Afghanistan, he is in the process of completing his MD residency. Shuayb has become attached to the beautiful City, he said. He chose to live in the south end of Greater Sudbury because it offers nice neighbourhoods, high market value and a quiet environment. Although he is still exploring the City, Shuayb has visited the Greater Sudbury shopping centres, the movie theatre, Moonlight Beach and Ramsey Lake. He also enjoys going to friends’ houses and attending community parties. This Newcomer hopes to become more involved in entertainment activities in the future. Shuayb says there are many reasons he is a proud Greater Sudbury resident, including the beautiful university (Laurentian University), the fabulous science centre (Science North), the natural surroundings and the great people. His advice to other Newcomers is that Greater Sudbury is a great place to live and raise a family. He also says that city officials are extremely friendly. According to Shuayb, the best features of the City of Greater Sudbury are the great friendly people and the beauties of nature.

mean that the festivals and activities in the City come to an end. Quite the
opposite! Greater Sudbury is alive with festivals, and
