A city-owned call centre may be purchased and reopened by a private operator in the near future. Capreol Connex, owned by the City of Greater Sudbury, closed its doors in December due to loss of business. Although city officials say negotiations have been underway, no deal has been finalized.

Capreol Connex became one of Capreol's biggest employers with a workforce of 150 upon opening in 2000. The entire staff was laid off Dec. 21 after losing its major client, an American telecommunications firm.
