Community Overview
Considered the largest northern city in Ontario by population, and top five in Canada with regards to land area, Sudbury comprises an urban core and numerous smaller communities scattered around 330 lakes and hills of rock. Sudbury was once a major lumber center and a world leader in nickel mining, which dominated its economy for much of the 20th century. Sudbury has now emerged as a vibrant and booming area with strong Franco-Ontario roots. Characterized by its small, rocky mountains with exposed igneous rock from the Canadian(Precambrian) Shield, Sudbury hosts six provincial parks and two provincial conservation reserves located within the city boundaries. As opportunistic as it is picturesque, Sudbury is brimming with development and real estate potential.
