Four Decades of Heart. Forty Years of Clocking In, TOGETHER.

Since 1986, Spark Employment Services has stood alongside Greater Sudbury’s workforce, through industry shifts, economic change, and evolving workplaces. What began as the Sudbury Vocational Resource Centre during a time of mining restructuring has grown into a community-driven force for connection, opportunity, and belonging.

From the buzz of dial-up internet to today’s digital world, one thing has remained constant: work is where our stories unfold. And this milestone is about honoring those stories.

Not Your Typical Gala

Clocking In! is not a formal dinner or a traditional anniversary event.

It is a live LOCAL theatrical experience set in Sudbury’s Community Arena during a celebratory, high-energy open hockey match. Everyone who has ever worked with Spark is invited to this 40th Anniversary Celebration, where friends, families, and coworkers come together to reflect on the changing history of work in Sudbury and imagine what the future might hold, while honoring the real stories, resilience, and partnerships that have shaped our community.

Event Highlights

A live performance featuring original stories inspired by real workplace experiences—moments of resilience, change, and connection
A curated post-show reception with 250+ business leaders, employers, and community partners
Meaningful conversations about workforce evolution, community services, talent development, and what comes next for Greater Sudbury
