Greater Sudbury council approved BMG's land rezoning for mining-related light industry, contrary to staff recommendations.

Greater Sudbury councillors approved BMG Engineering Ltd.'s application to rezone land in Chelmsford for mining-related light industrial use, including an engineering shop and outdoor storage. This decision contradicted staff recommendations, which cited misalignment with the city's strategic plan and potential negative impacts on climate goals and local water supplies. Residents expressed concerns over water safety and animal welfare, but few attended the meeting to voice their opinions.
