A long-time volunteer with Rainbow Routes, Paul Haynes’ historical hikes uncover the local history factoids you don’t hear about in school
There's lots to discover in our own backyard. Local history explorer Paul Haynes can help you learn about the City of Greater Sudbury's interesting characters and historical places and events.
Earlier this year, Haynes received a Civic Award from Greater Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre for his volunteer work with the Rainbow Routes Association. Last summer for the Ward 10 CAN, Haynes and environmentalist Peter Beckett hosted a walk through Bell Park and highlighted its changing landscape over the past century. "The type of information I like to share is the little bits that no one else has," Haynes said. "Like why William Bell didn't like pea soup. He didn't like it because he was eating it in the dining car" when the CPR train he was on derailed into the Spanish River .
Haynes is the communications chair for the Ward 10 CAN. It's a job that comes naturally to the Brantford native who moved to Sudbury in 1970 shortly after leaving high school. A friend was working at CKSO FM and suggested there might be an opportunity for him there as a radio board operator. He says he studied at the "School of Cambrian Broadcasting," at the Pine Street studios where he did a little bit of everything.

Housing crunch + population boom=trouble | Cost of Living with Paul Haavardsrud | Live RadioCanada's population surged by more than one million people last year, almost entirely due to immigration. But the majority didn't come in as Permanent Residents. They came as TFWs, international students or through the International Mobility Program. Canada might be inviting all these people here, but a lack of affordable places to live can make for a lousy welcome. Paul Haavardsrud talks to TD's chief economist Beata Caranci about why this is keeping her up at night.
