The City of
Greater Sudbury, one of Canada's best kept secrets is a
great place to visit, live and work!
You have probably heard a least several negative stories about Sudbury - a rough mining town, environmentally damaged, economically challenged etc. According to these reports Sudbury would seem to be the last place you would want to visit, let alone actually work and live. This may have been unfortunately true, from about 1900 to 1975. But, for just over the last quarter century several minor (or perhaps major) miracles occurred. Damaged wasteland was reclaimed in a greening initiative that earned international recognition. The economy diversified with health care, education, government services and commerce of all description growing rapidly, not to mention a very vigorous tourist sector. In just under 30 years Sudbury was transformed from somewhat of an ugly ducking to what many visitors have described as one of the most uniquely beautiful spots in Canada. A city of over 350 lakes, four institutions of higher learning with heart and cancer centers of excellence in a new regional health facility. The finest four season recreational opportunities, a symphony orchestra and professional theatre, a world renowned science centre and the best shopping north of Toronto. The City of Greater Sudbury, with a population of 165,000 has the amenities of a city several times larger. We are, however, because of our size, easy to live in, with few traffic problems, lower cost housing and access to the great outdoors of Northern Ontario within minutes of leaving home. Clean air (now some of the best in all of Canada), clear water (in our many lakes) and friendly people, many of whom would like to keep our secret - but you are most welcome to SeeSudbury for yourself. We are less than a four hour drive north of Toronto. Come for a visit or stay for a lifetime. Check out the current Sudbury weather conditions and forecast courtesy of: Other Places - Same Name: Did you know there are two other Sudbury communities? One is in England (for which we are named) and the other in the United States. For more information on the American community that shares our name please click on this link.
