Sudbury

Sudbury is now known as Greater Sudbury (as of 2001) which was created by the Regional Municipality of Sudbury (RMS) merging all the towns and cities in the district into one city. Sudbury is located in Northeastern Ontario (46° 29' N / 80° 60' W). Sudbury's population is 157,857 and the population density is 49.3/km2. Alike Stratford, Sudbury does not have many landforms other than the Canadian Shield .

The climate in Sudbury has a relatively moderate temperature with dry, humid and hot summers with cold and snowy winters. The fall and spring seasons are normal, cool and cloudy. Sudbury is located in the Boreal Shield ecozone roughly 400 km southeast of Pukaskwa National Park. The main industries found in Sudbury will be based on mining and sometimes lumber industries can be found just past the outskirts of the city. Majority of the tourism found in Sudbury is from the Science North, an interactive science museum built atop an ancient earthquake fault on the shore of Lake Ramsey, Dynamic Earth, home of Sudbury's famous "Big Nickel", and lastly the Inco Superstack which is the highest freestanding  chimney in the western hemisphere and the second tallest structure in Canada after the CN Tower.
