Sudbury, Ontario
Adventure Travel - Canada

A commercial hub and adventure destination

Sudbury, Ontario, Canada is the largest community in Rainbow Country and Northeastern Ontario. The City of Sudbury is a commercial hub and adventure destination located northeast of Georgian Bay and surrounded by over 330+ lakes. All within the Greater Sudbury region. The City of Sudbury is referred to as the "Blueberry Capital of the North" and the "City of Lakes & Attractions". 

The main lakes in the Greater Sudbury region are Ramsey, Minnow, Kukagami, Joe, Windy, Vermilion, Fairbank, Whitewater, Whitson, Meatbird, Kelly, Long, Panache and Wanapitei which is largest lake in the world within city limits.

The main economic engine of the area is mining. The "Big Nickel" (a giant 5 cent coin) is a symbol of Sudbury measuring over 9 metres tall. In fact... mining is so big in the region there are an estimated 5000+ kilometres of tunnels located underneath the city. 

Sudbury is home to some of the largest nickel-copper sulphate deposits on the globe - much of which - are pulled form the Sudbury Basin. The basin was a result of a meteorite crash 1.8 million years ago creating a 27 km wide & 60 km long and 15 km deep hole in the earth. 

The City of Sudbury was first established in 1883 as Sudbury Junction - a train station for Canada's railroad connecting east to west. Over time the community became a cultural hub of languages including French, Finnish and First Nation.
