Ontario now accepting applications for fast-tracking new mines
Ontario said it is ready to launch the new one-project one-process system (1P1P) to help mines get developed more quickly. Ontario Energy and Mines minister Stephen Lecce spoke about the importance of the process Friday, just as he did last month when he was the guest speaker at the annual general meeting of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce. Lecce said Friday that the actions of U.S. president Donald Trump of imposing tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and automobiles was an attack on the Canadian economy. Lecce said Canada must take action to develop new mines and to further develop Canadian resources to boost the economy. “With President Trump taking direct aim at our economy, it has never been more important to protect Ontario jobs and build the mines that will power our future,” said Lecce.

Speed limit increase OK’d for MR 15
The recommended speed limit increase on Municipal Road 15 from 60 km/h to 70 km/h will proceed with a minor adjustment, and two stop signs will be removed on Dell Street. Further, no changes will be made at the entrance to the Costco parking lot at Barrydowne Road and The Kingsway. These changes, or lack thereof in the case of Costco, were all approved by the operations committee of city council during last week’s meeting. Though these decisions will need to be ratified by city council as a whole on Oct. 21, the unanimous support at a committee level points to the likelihood they will pass. The recommended inaction at Costco might re-emerge in the event Ward 11 Coun. Bill Leduc flags it at a future meeting. He raised the traffic concern initially, but was not at last week’s meeting and told Sudbury.com he hasn’t had a chance to read the report yet.

Let’s eat! Newcomers bring the yummy flavours of Bulgaria to Sudbury
Who would have thought that two newcomers to Canada, who met in a Toronto shelter back in 2019, would open their own Bulgarian restaurant in Sudbury exactly six years later. Anelia Georgieva and Albena Vasileva opened A & A European Cuisine on Sept. 2 in the downtown Elm Place Mall food court. “No one in Sudbury really knows about Bulgarian food, so we went with a sign that says European cuisine only,” Vasileva said. “Then when they come, they try our authentic southeastern European dishes.” Begin with the traditional Bulgarian shopska salad, served with crisp cucumbers and ripe tomatoes and topped with freshly grated sirene cheese, which is reminiscent of feta, and you’ll be smitten from the very first bite. Georgieva and Vasileva offer samples for customers of traditional items like kebabche (meat rolls) and traditional Bulgarian cabbage rolls made with pork, herbs, rice and sauerkraut, as well as another traditional meal of beans, sausage and moussaka.
