About Sudbury

Sudbury is the largest centre in Northern Ontario, functioning as a regional capital and service hub. While mining and resource-based industries remain a major influence on the local economy, the city has diversified significantly to establish itself as a major centre of financial and business services, tourism, health care and research, education and government.

Sudbury's origins can be traced back thousands of years as the long-established territory of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek peoples, who thrived through deep connections to the natural world and through a traditional lifestyle of hunting, fishing and gathering.
