Greater Sudbury, often called simply Sudbury, is a city ofOntario to Canada. It is the largest city in Northern Ontario, both in terms of area and population, and an important retail and service center for the region.
Understand
Sudbury became a city in 1893, ten years after the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. James Worthington, the commissioner of the Canadian Pacific Railway, gave him his name Sudbury, in honor of his wife's birthplace in England. In 2001, Sudbury and its suburbs merged to become Greater Sudbury.
The City of Sudbury is located at Northern Ontario. Surrounded by more than 300 lakes, Sudbury is a perfect getaway in all seasons. Summers are generally warm and winters are cold and snowy, making the city ideal for outdoor recreational activities year round.
The town has a fairly unfair and outdated reputation as a green wasteland due to environmental damage caused by the local mining industry. But since the 1970s, various environmental restoration projects have given many parts of the city a rugged natural beauty that takes advantage of the region's many lakes, forests and rocky hills.
Like the national population, the people of Sudbury are diverse. Much of the city's immigrants come fromItaly, from UK and D'Germany. Each person has different customs. Sudbury is officially a bilingual city, where the majority of the population speaks French or English. However, a visitor will be able to hear Italian as well as German or Finnish spoken.

To work
During the construction of the railway in 1883, blasting and excavation revealed high concentrations of nickel-copper on the shores of the Sudbury Basin. This discovery brought the first waves of European settlers, who came not only to work in the mines, but also to build a service station for railway workers. Sudbury has since remained a mining town. Over the past few years Sudbury has seen an increase in the tech industry and most jobs in Sudbury are mining related for one of the two big companies. Vale Limited or Glencore. There are a lot of other jobs related to everyday life in Sudbury, but it all started with the mines.
