Greater Sudbury, City and administrative center in Ontario, Canada.

The largest city in Northern Ontario extends across 3,200 square kilometers and contains over 300 lakes within its municipal boundaries.

The discovery of nickel and copper deposits during the Canadian Pacific Railway construction in 1883 transformed the area into a major mining settlement.

The population includes a substantial Franco-Ontarian community that maintains French language services, education systems, and cultural institutions throughout the city.

Science North, located near Ramsey Lake, serves as both an educational center and tourist destination with exhibits focusing on regional scientific developments.

The municipality operates more than 50 snowplows to maintain winter road safety across its extensive territory, the largest by land area in Ontario.
