Sudbury car insurance information

Sudbury or Greater Sudbury as it is officially called, has the largest population of Northern Ontario cities with approximately 155,219 people. Its other official name is Grand-Sudbury and it is the largest city, in land area, in Ontario. It also consists of two First Nations reserves: Whitefish Lake and Wanapitei.

Sudbury began as a lumber camp, however in 1883, during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, large deposits of nickel-copper ore were found. This ushered in the beginning of Sudbury's long mining history. It went through many ups and downs over the years, with rising and falling demands on the world market for Nickel.

Today the City is hampered by an inability to make the mining companies pay taxes on their below ground operations. Even though mining is still very important to the city as a source of employment, Sudbury has also become a centre for commerce, tourism, government, technology and science research.

The topography of the area is interesting and is known as the Sudbury Basin. It is thought that the area was formed with the impact of a meteorite 1.85-billion years ago. For many years the area was scarred by a lack of vegetation due to logging for wood during the reconstruction of Chicago after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Also, sulphur rain continually destroyed the vegetation of the region and was caused by the smelting of nickel-copper.

During the 1960's, NASA trained astronauts in Sudbury because of unique rock formations that were similar to what they felt they would find on the moon. Unfortunately a misconception resulted and people felt that the astronauts were training in Sudbury because it resembled the lifeless look of the Moon. This affected the image of the city for years. This has all changed now though. During the 1970s the city began a massive "regreening" effort and in 1992, the United Nations gave Sudbury the "Local Government Honours Award" in honour of its efforts in the area of environmental rehabilitation.
