The political fight for Ward 11 is being waged between its pro-casino incumbent and an anti-casino political newcomer who publicly opposed the Kingsway Entertainment District.
Duncanson-Hales was one of the key figures in the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal appeal against the Kingsway Entertainment District, a municipal arena/events centre project the city proposed to accompany a private hotel and casino. Duncanson-Hales contends he had “no choice” but to join the earlier legal challenge against the KED, which he said he opposed due to its inclusion of a private casino.
Although the LPAT ruled against all KED-related appeals, Duncanson-Hales maintains the attempt was a worthwhile endeavour. Still disappointed in the LPAT’s ruling, Duncanson-Hales said part of his inspiration to seek the Ward 11 seat at council chambers is to be a part of the decision-making conversation, where he will have a vote when it comes to such things as requiring socio-economic impact studies.
Leduc’s campaign for re-election will centre on the importance of creating housing, without which he said “we can’t really boost our economy.”
aww poor Bill. He's scared. Duncanson-Hales is the best choice for Minnow Lake and is the best choice for the city. Bill would have cost the city its future
Sudbury will never have anything nice
