The council consists of the mayor plus a twelve-person council. The city is divided into twelve wards; each ward is represented by one councillor. The council meets at Tom Davies Square.
The city was created by amalgamating the former City of Sudbury with six suburban municipalities on January 1, 2001. Initially, the council structure consisted of six wards, each represented by two councillors. Ward boundaries in the new city were drawn by grouping former suburban municipalities with adjacent neighbourhoods in the former city. For the 2006 municipal election, council was reorganized into twelve single-member wards.
Appointed on June 26, 2014, as temporary interim councillor following Belli's death.[4]

Frances Caldarelli
Ward 10
Terry Kett
Ward 11
Joscelyne Landry-Altmann
Ward 12
As the vacancies in wards 1 and 8 occurred less than six months prior to the 2014 municipal election, by provincial law both were required to be filled by temporary appointment to the seat rather than in a conventional by-election. Sizer was appointed on June 26 to succeed Belli,[4] and McIntaggart was appointed on July 8 to succeed Cimino.[2] Unlike many cities in similar circumstances, Greater Sudbury City Council opted not to impose a requirement that the appointed councillors could not run for reelection in 2014; Sizer chose to run as a candidate and won reelection, while McIntaggart did not run.

Former boundaries
From amalgamation in 2001 until reorganization in 2005, the wards were as follows:
Ward 1: former Town of Walden, plus the communities of Copper Cliff, Gatchell, Robinson and the West End in the former city of Sudbury.
Ward 5: southern half (Coniston-Wahnapitae) of the former Town of Nickel Centre, the downtown core, most of the former Sudbury south of Ramsey Lake, and the newly annexed townships south of the former Regional Municipality.
Ward 6: the only ward whose boundaries lay entirely within the old City of Sudbury, included the Flour Mill, Minnow Lake, Adamsdale and New Sudbury between Barrydowne Road and Rideau Street.
