CELEBRATING OUR LEGACY. INSPIRING OUR FUTURE.
If you ask a Sudburian about their connection to mining, you'll quickly learn just how vital this industry is to our community. It might be why a grandparent settled here, the spark behind someone's passion for mechanical engineering, or the lifeline keeping local businesses flourishing. The mining industry is intricately woven into the fabric of Sudbury, impacting us in profound, often unseen ways.
