  • Science North, Greater Sudbury: Canadian Shield Rock with Stories of Ancient Meteorite Impact, Faulting and Glacial Sculpting; Geotours Northern Ontario Series
    Science North, Greater Sudbury Canadian Shield Rock with Stories of Ancient GPS co-ordinates: N46° 28.224’, W80° 59.698’ Meteorite Impact, Faulting and Glacial Sculpting Science North is Canada’s second largest science centre and northern Ontario’s largest tourist attraction. It is internationally recognized for its innovative science communication programs and interactive exhibits. The science centre’s rocky site is itself an exhibit. The main building is perched on top of Canadian Shield bedrock on the shores of Ramsey Lake. Inside, a rock tunnel shows evidence of an ancient meteorite impact, and a ramp spirals around glacially carved bedrock and a geological fault. The boardwalk along the lake provides great views of the shoreline geology. So let’s start at the waterfront. Science North’s snowflake-shaped buildings straddle a Fault! Geological faults are cracks in the Earth’s crust where rocks on one side have geological fault and sit on glacially sculpted rock outcrops along slipped past the rocks on the other side. Each slip creates an earthquake and breaks and the shores of Ramsey Lake. Photo courtesy of Science North. grinds rock along the fault. How to get to Science North Science North is on Ramsey Lake Road just off Paris Street, about a 5 minute drive from the City of Greater Sudbury’s downtown centre. Stop 1: A Canadian Shield waterfront From the parking lot, head for the waterfront past the Food Court building. The Jim Gordon boardwalk extends 2 km from Science North to Bell Park. Along the Science North waterfront, the boardwalk crosses a floating dock that skirts 2 rock headlands in Ramsey Lake.

  • Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided. This is an evolving, working guide. © 2016 Canadian Association of University Teachers 2705 Queensview Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2B 8K2 \\ 613-820-2270 \\ www.caut.ca Cover photo: “Infinity” © Christi Belcourt CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 Contents 1| How to use this guide Our process 2| Acknowledgement statements Newfoundland and Labrador Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia New Brunswick Québec Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia Canadian Association of University Teachers 3 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 1| How to use this guide The goal of this guide is to encourage all academic staff context or the audience in attendance.

  • City of Greater Sudbury
    City of Greater Sudbury Sudbury Events Centre Update Report June 2021 Summary | Background | 2017 Business Case Assessmment | Business Case Update | Sudbury Community Arena Modernization Executive Summary • The development of the Kingsway Site has continued to advance since 2017, with the construction of a casino, hotel and other recently planned and proposed projects continuing to move closer to being developed. Casino and hotel development partners have reaffirmed their participation and interest in the development. It is noted, however, that the development of some of these projects are dependent on the construction of the New Events Centre. • Since 2017, the City has continued to take steps to improve downtown Sudbury from a development investment perspective, with these programs and initiatives yielding a number of proposed projects; these initiatives and projects help lay a foundation for generating complementary development from catalyst projects. The potential exists for Greater Sudbury’s catalyst projects to support this broader revitalization, consistent with what has occurred within other communities. The timing associated with realizing such complementary developments will, however, depend on local real estate development economics and conditions. • Overall direct benefits associated with the Kingsway Site are estimated to be greater. • Expectations are that planned projects at the Kingsway Site will be constructed upon final confirmation of the New Events Centre. The foregoing compares with the Downtown Site where, based on precedent experiences of other municipalities, the potential for additional ancillary / complementary development could occur; the exact form or nature of which is currently not known. • Expectations are that once large indoor gatherings are again allowed (with some expecting this to occur in late 2021 / early 2022), demand by consumers to attend live events is expected to surge for a period of between 18 and 36 months (with this period referred to as the “roaring 20s”).

  • Sudbury: a Historical Case Study of Multiple Urban-Economic Transformation
    Sudbury: A Historical Case Study of Multiple Urban-Economic Transformation OIVA SAARINEN Sudbury serves as a relevant historical case study of a settlement that has undergone several transformations since its inception as a fledgling village in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Though changes of this kind have been frequent in Ontario, they have not normally happened to hinterland resource communities. This article t suggests that Sudbury is unique in this regard, having evolved through five distinct .. stages: (I) a railway company village, (2) a colonial-frontier mining town and city, (3) a regional central-place, (4) a declining metropolis, and (5) a nearly self­ sustaining community. The constant restructuring of Sudbury's society and eco­ nomic base has been caused by a variety of external and internal forces, among which the "human dynamic" has been vital and ever present. The paper suggests that under certain circumstances a resource community can progress from a staples and boom-bust existence to a more sustainable urban economy based on local and regional influences. A Railway Company Village Sudbury began its existence as a company village of the Canadian Pacific Railway.' In 1883 it became one of the places in Northern Ontario chosen as a temporary construction centre for the railway company. Situated on the outer limit of habitable territory, the site gave no evidence whatsoever that it would ever acquire an impor­ tance beyond that of a small wayside station for the transcontinental railway. In 1884 the Commissioner of Crown Lands made land grants to both the CPR and the Jesuits.
