Retirement
Early in 1986, Sutherland wrote against a plan to make the North York Hydro Commission a city department and directly responsible to council. He argued that plans to roll the city's Hydro surplus into general revenue would result in higher electricity rates. He later supported a plan for Toronto to incinerate its own garbage.
He moved to Parry Sound after retiring, and died there in 1998 at age 71.
