In what police are call proof the system needs repairs, almost half of people North Bay police checked on were violating bail conditions. In what police are call proof the system needs repairs, almost half of people North Bay police checked on were violating bail conditions. Sudbury police say they have seen a positive increase in the number of people complying with bail conditions after latest check. Over four days last week, police 'conducted 62 bail compliance checks on individuals subject to house arrest and curfews and found that 90 per cent of individuals were complying with the court-ordered conditions. This is up from 71 per cent in March and 69 per cent in December. 'In relation to the individuals found not to be compliant, officers arrested one individual and requested one arrest warrant through the judicial process,' Greater Sudbury Police Service said in a news release Thursday morning. 'During the same time period, officers executed 33 arrest warrants where 14 individuals were held for bail through the judicial system. During the execution of the 33 arrest warrants, 10 new charges were laid and four of the individuals were found committing additional offences at the time of the arrests.' The compliance checks are becoming more regular and are focused on violent and high-risk offenders. 'This program plays a critical role in preventing crime, victimization, and re-victimization by holding offenders accountable for their actions. We will continue to allocate resources to ensure strict adherence to court-ordered conditions and the prompt execution of arrest warrants for those breaching judicial orders,' police said. 'This proactive approach underscores the importance of accountability in reducing risks to our community.'

Sudbury police reconciliation relay invites more participation
Police in Greater Sudbury want more participation in annual events that are meant to educate people about residential schools. What started as an internal initiative by the Greater Sudbury Police Service to raise awareness about trauma and loss caused by Canada's residential school system has turned into an annual event marking its fourth year. The announcement for this year's Truth & Reconciliation Relay started Wednesday with a smudging ceremony. What is a smudging ceremony? 'Smudging is a ceremonial practice that holds significant cultural and spiritual importance for many Indigenous peoples in Canada,' Inn From the Cold said on its website. 'Smudging involves the burning of sacred herbs, typically sage, sweetgrass, cedar, or tobacco, and the ritualistic use of the smoke for cleansing, purifying, and connecting with the spiritual realm.' Walk, run or cycle Since its inception in 2022, the relay – held in September and culminates with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation -- has seen other Greater Sudbury organizations join in with teams logging kilometres they walk, run or cycle. 'We all have a role to play in moving forward and mending the wrongs that have that have been done,' said Const. Anik Dennie, one of the creators of the event. 'So, as an organization ... how can you move forward in a good way?' Last year, the Junction Creek Stewardship Committee (JCSC) was recognized for having 100 per cent staff participation in the event, winning the 'Championing Change' paddle. Championing Change paddle presented to Junction Creek Stewardship Committee Championing Change paddle presented to Junction Creek Stewardship Committee by Greater Sudbury Police Service for having 100 per cent staff participation in annual reconciliation relay. June 11, 2025 (Angela Gemmill/CTV Northern Ontario) 'The work we do with the water, watershed and the Indigenous communities, how we can do better and be better allies and build those meaningful relationships at a speed of trust, and have those positive intentions as well,' said Miranda Virtanen, the committee's executive director. Represents moving forward The physical portion of the relay represents moving forward not just in kilometres, but in understanding and reconciliation. This year, police are inviting schools from the four local school boards to take part. Elementary schools will participate in a colouring contest, while secondary schools will participate in physical activity. 'It's not a competition at all,' said Const. Darrell Rivers. 'It's just schools against schools. They can use their own mascots for team names, but really, the whole heart of it is learning and educating all the youth.' Kilometres representing children affected This year's goal is to log a total of 150,000 kilometres, representing the number of children forced into residential schools across the country. Despite not reaching the goal last year, Dennie said she didn't see it as a failure, adding true reconciliation can't happen overnight. 'It was a reminder that we need to continue to do this. We need to continue to put in the work because we're not there yet, nor will we ever truly be there,' she said. 'It was humbling to see those (total kilometre) numbers and to be reminded of the work that still needs to be put in.'

June 11, 2025 (Angela Gemmill/CTV Northern Ontario) Dennie suggests that when participants head out to log their kilometres during the month of September, she hopes they'll pick one of the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Report to reflect on during their activity. 'Together, we'll all move for change,' she said.
